Gator Families -  The end of Semester 1 is only a few weeks away. Decatur students are hard at work to finish strong. A few ways you can support and keep on top of your student's learning is to check ParentVue to view student grades, missing assignments, and standards, contact your student's teacher as needed, and discuss the importance of attending class.  We are still focusing on building relationships and establishing a positive and safe school climate and culture.  We also continue to advance our work as part of the Federal Way Public Schools Strategic Plan with a focus on Goal 2, The Whole Child: Thriving, Confident, Responsible Individuals, and on Goal 5, Persistence to Graduation: High School Graduation Through Successful Transitions. 
Please remember our website is also a great resource to find out about the activities and events happening at Decatur.  You can also set up and access your ParentVue account from the website. ParentVue is a vital communication tool provided by our district that allows you to monitor your student's grades and attendance in real-time. It takes all of us working together to keep our school safe to help your students succeed, and I appreciate your continued partnership. GO GATORS!!
