A Message from the Principal
December is already here! Many of our students will attend the Holiday Spectacular program at the high school on December 8th. We will have our Winter Music Program on December 20th. The program will showcase students in grades K-4. Winter parties will take place on December 21st.
This week students in K-6 will take the middle of the year NWEA assessment. This assessment will show progress in reading and math and will give teachers information on the skills each student needs to focus on. Please ensure students are on time each day.
Decatur Proud,
Mrs. Pearson, Principal

Decatur Township Culture Guide
E= Events: We cannot control things that happen
R= Response: We can control our response to the event
O=Outcome: Having a proper response will get the desired outcome.
This concept is powerful for all of us. Daily, many things happen that are out of our control. We can lash out or we can pause, think, and then respond. Pausing for reflection allows us to get the outcome that we need and want.
