Decatur High School
Hello,
We are down to four instructional weeks left in this semester. As a reminder, DHS is transitioning to Semester Grading this school year. Please take a few minutes to review grades in the parent portal with your student. It will be a good time to support your students by encouraging them to review their assignment due dates and assessment schedules. Students should be able to locate these in Google Classroom and Infinite Campus.
Senior families, please take advantage of NO FEE NOVEMBER to apply to colleges in Georgia over the last few weeks of the month. There are over 60 Georgia colleges and universities participating in Georgia's Apply to College Month. You can visit GAfutures to see the list of participating colleges and application instructions. Don't forget to check your GEORGIA MATCH Student Dashboard to explore your college matches and claim your spot!
Sincerely,
Duane Sprull, Ed.D.
