Principal's Corner 
Dear Stephen Decatur Families and Friends,
Welcome to a new school year at Stephen Decatur Elementary School. My name is April Tramil. It is with great excitement and a deep sense of honor that I welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year! As the newly appointed principal, I am eager to embark on this journey of learning, growth, and collaboration with each of you.
Our school will not be limited to a place of education; it will continue to be a vibrant community where every child's potential is nurtured and celebrated. Together with our dedicated staff, we will be committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
I firmly believe in the power of partnership between home and school. Your involvement and support are invaluable in creating a positive educational experience for your child. Whether through volunteering, attending school events, or engaging in conversations with teachers, your active participation strengthens our entire school community.
At Stephen Decatur, we will continue to uphold high standards of academic excellence while fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. We embrace diversity and respect for all individuals, nurturing a culture where differences are celebrated and every voice is heard.
As we begin this new school year together, I invite you to share in our excitement and optimism for the future. I am looking forward to supporting and sustaining the wonderful programs and practices at Stephen Decatur. Together, we will build upon the rich traditions of our school while exploring new opportunities for growth and innovation.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or our dedicated staff if you have any questions, ideas, or concerns. My door is always open, and I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to ensure a successful and fulfilling academic year for every student.
Here's to a year filled with joy, discovery, and achievements!
With All Students in Mind,
April Tramil, Principal
