NOTICE: Feb. 9 - 13 will be a full week for students.
Decatur County Schools will be in session on Monday, February 9, 2026. A regular schedule will be followed; however, bus drivers will use their discretion to determine which roads are safe to travel. Students will be excused if transportation is unavailable or if other weather-related conditions prevent attendance. Parents should communicate any attendance concerns directly with their school’s administration.
Additionally, the Decatur County School Calendar is being amended to designate Thursday, February 12, 2026, and Friday, February 13, 2026, as regular instructional days. It is understandable and greatly appreciated that parents often use the school calendar to schedule vacations, appointments, and other events. Each school principal will work with parents who may have already made prior commitments for February 12th and/or 13th. The goal is to provide our students with effective instruction that prepares them to meet grade-level expectations and transition to the next level of learning. Unexpected events like winter storms make achieving this goal more difficult due to two weeks of lost instructional time. Restructuring our calendar is one option to regain instructional time and better serve our students.
*Parent-Teacher Conference will be rescheduled for a later date.
We appreciate your support, understanding, and flexibility.
Melinda J. Thompson, Director


Parents/ Guardians of returning students, please go ahead and register your child. If you have already done this, THANK YOU! I know that some of you just let it roll over; however, we have added some required forms that need to be signed by you. Please take a few minutes to complete this process. If you need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact Dr. King or your child's school.
