Due to inclement weather, all MSD of Decatur Township Schools will be conducting an eLearning Day tomorrow, Monday, January 6th, 2025. Please refer to ParentSquare and Canvas messages from your child’s school for the most up-to-date information for this school day.  Thank you and Stay Safe!

Happy New Year 2025! We hope everyone has enjoyed a restful winter break. We look forward to a great 2nd semester here in Decatur Township! 

As a reminder, school resumes for all students and staff on Monday, January 6th, 2025. Here are a few items to note as we start 2nd semester strong:

Winter Weather Policy:
Please review our winter weather and school cancellation policy linked here. In the event of a delay or eLearning day, communication will be sent to the primary phone number for parents/guardians listed in Skyward through ParentSquare. Please review and make any necessary updates to your contact information in Skyward Family Access and your notification preferences in ParentSquare. 

School Attendance:
Attending school daily has a huge impact on a student's academic success. Families play a key role in making sure students get to school every day, and we want to partner with you to ensure strong attendance! Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year can make it difficult for elementary students to learn how to read and for secondary students to stay on track for graduation. Thank you for ensuring that your students attend school daily!

Tomorrow Ready Awards:
We continue to recognize our amazing staff here in Decatur Township. The Vision of the MSD of Decatur Township is “Preparing Students to be Tomorrow Ready.” The “Tomorrow Ready” Award recognizes staff members (nominated by peers, supervisors, parents, or community members) who exemplify our beliefs of equity, teamwork, and excellence, going above and beyond to positively impact our schools and students. Nominations for the “Tomorrow Ready” awards can be submitted through the Google form below. District Administration will select two nominations per month to be recognized by the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent, as well as the MSD Decatur School Board of Education at their monthly meeting.  The next recognition will be at the January 14th school board meeting. Nominations for the “Tomorrow Ready” awards can be submitted through the link below:
