In order to prepare our students to compete in a global society, Harleyville Elementary School will continue to commit to helping all students develop the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.   

Harleyville Elementary understands the importance of building a strong educational foundation and the impact it has on the educational career of a child and his or her future success.  Our early childhood programs, Head Start and the South Carolina Early Reading Development and Education Program (CERDEP), provide essential skills necessary such as social and cognitive development.  Through the analysis of data from both programs, the teachers are able to differentiate instruction in the classroom to meet the needs of each student before he or she enters kindergarten.   

While going through the pandemic, HES made necessary instructional adjustments to continue to reach each learner both virtually and in-person.   A strong emphasis was placed on phonemic awareness in the primary grade levels as well as building number sense.  In all grade levels a balanced literacy model was used to teach literacy.  There was a block of time each day dedicated to all students to receive additional instructional support or enrichment. Teachers were also provided additional support by participating in relevant professional development that was facilitated by SREB, Southern Regional Educational Board, as well a math consultant, and school based instructional coaches. 

The 21st Century Community Learning Center is also an essential component to helping our students build the world class skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.  Our after school program focused on growing our students academically as well as promoting other domains that impact the development of the whole child.  The students received instructional support and exposure to various enrichment activities.

HES implemented a strong social emotional learning program.  Our school counselor provided structured SEL lessons in the classrooms that addressed dealing with the emotions of our students, showing empathy towards others, and making positive decisions.

Through student engagement, building relationships, continuous data analysis, and ongoing professional development we continue to strive towards excellence in our school.  “Helping Everyone Succeed” is not only our motto but it also shows our commitment to develop life-long learners who will have a positive impact on our global world.
