Attention Decatur Township Families: All schools will start on a 2 hour delay, Thursday, January 29, 2026. Temperatures and windchills are not predicted to be at our threshold levels, however, we feel that the delay will offer daylight, providing students and bus drivers the extra measure of safety as we transition for this first day back to school only.

If you depend on bus transportation, this means you should be prepared for bus pickup two hours later than the regular time. All schools will begin their day tomorrow 2-hours later than the usual start time. Thank you and we look forward to welcoming students back to school!

Attention Decatur Township Families: Due to current temperature and wind chill readings as well as extreme cold warnings being extended until noon, we are now at our threshold for closing. We will be conducting an eLearning Day today, January 28, 2026.

For most of our schools, students will work from home through Canvas with “asynchronous” assignments. However, West Newton Elementary will conduct a "synchronous" eLearning day due to a closure earlier this school year. West Newton families, please look for schedules to be posted by the principal.

Thank you

Due to continued inclement weather and road conditions, all MSD of Decatur Township Schools will be conducting an eLearning Day tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27th, 2026. Students will work from home through Canvas with “asynchronous” assignments. Please refer to ParentSquare and Canvas messages from your child’s school for the most up-to-date information for this school day. School buildings/offices will continue to be closed.

Take care and stay warm!
