Youth Basketball
Decatur Central will be hosting tryouts for Indy Hoops travel basketball teams on Sunday, September 23 at 7:00pm at the HS gymnasiums.
Boys in grades 3rd-6th can tryout for the travel teams that will compete in the Indy Hoops leagues against other travel teams from schools around the Indianapolis area. It is a competitive league that gives our athletes a chance to compete against other schools and some of the top talent around the city while also developing their skills over the course of the season.
There is no charge to tryout and parents can sign up their kids on the day of tryouts.
Enter through the athletics entrance – Door 16 – to get to the gymnasiums on that Sunday."

Indianapolis Public Library
Decatur Township is continuing our partnership with the Indianapolis Public Library. Through this partnership, we are providing the library with a list of our students, and they are going to match the list with their database. If a student does not currently have a library card, they will be issued one. This program has been very successful in our township and across this city in other schools.
The special card students receive will give them access to all of the library’s digital materials, such as databases of magazine and journal articles, downloadable ebooks, emagazines and audio books. In addition, it will give them very limited access to physical items, such as regular books. Of course, you can change this to a full access card by visiting your library. This is an outstanding opportunity for your student. If for any reason you do not wish for your child to participate, please contact our school office for paperwork to opt out.
Any questions or concerns about the program can be directed to Lynn Hodgkin, Elementary Media Coordinator, at 317-856-2221.
