⚠️Winter Weather Update from DCPS⚠️

A winter storm may impact our area this weekend (Jan 24-25, 2026). DCPS plans to open on a regular schedule on Monday, January 26, but we will monitor conditions closely and keep you informed of any changes.

❄️School Schedule - DCPS is scheduled to open for a normal school day on Monday, January 26.
❄️Weather Monitoring - If the storm moves in this weekend, we may need to close schools. Weather-related updates will be provided through the DCPS app, social media platforms, email, phone system, and website.

❄️Virtual Instruction - If the storm results in school closures beyond 2 days, we will switch to virtual instruction. Grades 1-12 will log into their devices to connect with teachers online. PK and K students will receive paper copies and can contact teachers for help.
❄️Preparation - Students with device agreements will bring devices home Friday; all other students and students in PK and K will receive paper assignments.

❌Monday 1/26: If closed, no school
❌Tuesday 1/27: If closed, no school
💻Wednesday 1/28: If closed, virtual instruction begins

DCPS is monitoring for potential school closures the week of January 26, 2026 due to impending inclement weather

Attention Hurlock Elementary Families (Grades PK–5):

In preparation for potential inclement weather, we are planning ahead in case we need to transition to virtual learning. To support this, families of students in grades 1–5 are asked to complete the device agreement linked below.

PK and Kindergarten students will NOT be coming home with devices. If we need to move to virtual learning, PK and K students will receive paper learning packets only.

Please complete the form for each child in grades 1–5 attending Hurlock Elementary so we know whether your child will:
   •   Use a school-issued device sent home
   •   Use a personal device
   •   Receive a paper work packet

Due to a water main break in the Town of Hurlock, Hurlock Elementary School is currently without water. As a result, we will be dismissing students early beginning at 1:15 p.m.

Please ensure that an adult is home to receive your child at the bus stop. If no one will be home, you must call the school immediately to provide an alternate drop-off address.

Buses may be delayed or rerouted due to road closures.

Please also help us spread the word by contacting any families who may not see this message so they are aware of the early dismissal.

Thank you for your immediate attention and cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of all students.
