The Principal's Message
Our first seven days have been exciting! We have practiced expectations, built teams in our classrooms, and have began using Ipads. This year, all first through sixth grade students will have an Ipad. Students in third through sixth grade will be taking their devices home each evening, along with a Mifi device. The Mifi device allows your scholar to connect to the internet, where ever they are. Please reinforce responsible and safe practices at home, so our scholars have access to technology all year.
We are going to begin Friday popcorn sales next Friday. The funds will be used to support student and staff celebrations. All bags will sell for $1.00 each. Thank you in advance for supporting Stephen Decatur.
I appreciate that you chose Stephen Decatur for your child. We are committed to making a difference everyday!
Mrs. Jennifer Pearson
Important Information
Attendance matters! We need all scholars here on time everyday. This ensures that they are not missing critical instruction.
"If a child misses one day of school every two weeks, they miss 18 days each year. If that student continues to be absent over the course of their school career, kindergarten through high school, he or she will have missed 234 days out of their entire time in school. In other words, a day of missed school every two weeks can lead to over a year's worth of school missed." -Communities in Schools

Welcome to the Volunteer Page
In an effort to keep our schools safe, all volunteers (including staff) must complete a volunteer application form/criminal background check request and be approved as a volunteer prior to volunteering.
This form must be completed at least 5 business days prior to the event, in which the volunteer chooses to participate.
At the beginning of the school year the length of time to process volunteer forms could take up to 2 weeks. You will receive an email once the volunteer form has been processed.
