Happy National School Counselors Week! 🎉 We’re grateful to counselors Ambra Beaty and Chasen Jackson for making a difference at MMS. 💙 Thank you for providing guidance, care and curriculum advice to our students and families. You are appreciated!
Decatur ISD will be CLOSED Friday, February 3, 2023 due to forecasted freezing temperatures which will refreeze moisture on roadways making them unsafe.
After school activities WILL resume Friday because temps will rise midday.
District officials have been out driving roads and while the main streets are currently just wet, there are some rural spots that are questionable and temperatures are supposed to drop back below freezing tonight.
Please know that when we make a decision that alters the normal school schedule, we consider the following factors:
• Road conditions and whether buses/cars can safely travel on residential and rural roads
• The existing accumulation of snow or ice and the possibility of moisture refreezing as temperatures drop
• The rate and expected duration of future precipitation
• Parking lot and sidewalk conditions
• Weather predictions
As always, please know we try to make decisions based on the best interest of our students, staff, and stakeholders.
Thank you for your patience as we wait to see the effect of this evenings weather on road conditions.
We will communicate any additional changes to the school schedule as soon as a decision is made.
Stay safe and warm Eagles!

Mrs. Goins' 7th grade science students have been demonstrating the use of various bird beak adaptations this week. Students compared three types of beaks, determining how well each can pick up diverse pieces of food, how this affects the number of each species of bird in the next generation, and the success of each beak type. #MMScience
Phones and internet are down for DISD. Thank you for your patience.
