School will resume on a regular schedule on Tuesday, January 14th. We look forward to seeing everyone after a wintery wonderland break!
Please note: Decatur County will have school tomorrow using bus driver discretion. Principals will excuse students in areas where buses cannot safely drive.
CLOSING MONDAY, JANUARY 13th Decatur County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 13, 2025, due to potential hazardous conditions. While primary roads are in good condition, lingering snow and the risk of refreezing make secondary roads unsafe for buses and student drivers. “The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority,” said Mr. Chris Villaflor, Director of Schools. Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize safety.
