Parents and guardians, please be sure to check the Parent Portal today at 4:00 PM for your child's first progress report of the school year. This is a great opportunity to review their academic progress and stay informed about their achievements and areas for growth. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher.

If you have trouble logging into Parent Portal please contact our front office or email our School Manager, Kizzy Terry-Bryant at kterry@csdecatur.net

First Grade Parents and Guardians,

Your child’s CogAT scores were sent home in today’s communication folder. Please email Ms. Williams at awilliams@csdecatur.net with questions.

Next week, we'll be using materials from the Common Sense Media Digital Citizenship curriculum to begin/continue teaching our students the importance of screen time balance and being safe, responsible, and kind online. If you'd like to learn more about digital citizenship and/or you're looking for some great resources to guide family tech use/balance, this flyer has lots of great links to Common Sense Media resources.

Join us on Thursday, Nov. 14th from 6-10pm at The Chapel on Sycamore for an evening of food, fun, and fellowship - all for a good cause. The Supper provides crucial support for DEF, allowing us to continue our work addressing unmet needs, providing enriching opportunities, and supporting our educators. Get your tickets today! Interested in sponsorship opportunities? Email Meagan@DecaturEducationFoundation.org.

DEF was founded more than 20 years ago by a group of residents who wanted to ensure that EVERY student in CSD had what they needed to learn and thrive. Today, DEF's mission remains focused on Decatur's kids and educators, and we are still 100% reliant on the support of the Decatur community. DEF puts the community's contributions where they will have the biggest impact for our students, and DEF's Step Up Circle is a special group of supporters that allows us to operate programs like Lighten the Load, Teacher Innovation Grants, behavioral health support, arts programming, and so much more. There are also benefits - for both businesses and individuals - to joining DEF's Step Up Circle (beyond the warm and fuzzy feeling you get from supporting Decatur's kids!). Visit https://decatureducationfoundation.org/step-up-circle/ to learn more about the different giving levels.
