Virtual enrollment deadline nears

DECATUR -- The Decatur School District announced July 30 that classes for both on-site and virtual are scheduled to begin Aug. 24.

Parents will have the option of choosing either a blended learning option or a virtual learning option.

The blended option offers students on-site instruction established in a digital format allowing for a rapid transition to virtual learning should the covid-19 pandemic require a shutdown of on-site instruction.

The virtual option is online, learning from home, with rare instances of on-campus classes in emergency situations.

The deadline for enrolling in the virtual class option is set for Aug. 6. For more information, visit decatursd.com or call 479-752-3986.
