Small change to the Elementary Spirit Days next week due to picture day. On Wednesday Oct 7 we will have "Dress to Impress" day because that is also our picture day. On Oct 8 we will have Athletes vs Mathletes. Sorry for the change, but this sequence makes more sense :) Thank you in advance .
Elementary picture day is Wednesday Oct 7 and a Lifetouch picture envelope has been sent home with your student. Any K-6 virtual student can come in for pictures on Oct 7 from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm. Please call the elementary office at 376-9785 and let us know that your virtual student will be coming in for pictures.
Picture Day is October 15, 2020. You can find a Birchfield picture form in Documents > High School > Picture form.

This event will allow students to perform the mandatory field training and take the required test to receive their hunter safety certificate. Per DNR guidelines, all students and parents/guardians present for the class must wear a face covering - no exceptions. Additionally students should bring their own pencils and eye/ear protection, if able. Anyone who is feeling ill should not attend the class.

To Whom It May Concern:
The baseball and softball programs did a fundraiser in the spring for the pending March Madness. Due to Covid-19, baseball was cancelled. If you paid for a square and you would like your money returned, please contact Todd Walker at twalker@deckerville.k12.mi.us. Please send him your address so he can mail your refund. If you paid for a square and you would like to donate the money to the baseball and softball programs, thank you. This money will be going toward the payment of the dugouts.
Peace,

Hello, this is Michael Hugan, Superintendent of Deckerville Community Schools. I am calling to remind you that tomorrow, Monday, August 31st, Deckerville Community Schools will begin face to face instruction. The doors will be opened at 7:45am, and school will begin at 8:05am and end at 3:00pm. All students will need to wear masks on busses and when entering the building. Kindergarten-5th grade students will need to wear masks until their teachers allow them to take them off once inside the classroom. Parents of Kindergarten through 2nd grade will be allowed to accompany their students to the classroom door, however, they will also be required to wear a mask in the building. Parents of 3rd-6th may drop off their students at the main elementary door and the students will go to the breakfast room first on their way to their classroom.
We are excited to have the majority of our students back once again. Face to face instruction is what we do best at Deckerville Community Schools, and teachers, as well as other school workers, are looking forward to interacting with the students that they have sorely missed since mid-March. If you have questions, please contact the Elementary school or High School office. Thank you, and have a good evening.

For frequently asked questions regarding the COVID-19 Response
Parents interested in the 100% virtual learning option for the 2020-2021 school year, there will be a town hall with our virtual provider on Monday Aug 17, 2020 @ 7:00 pm in the HS Cafe. A frequently asked question about "how much time should my student be online every day for the virtual classes?".... the answer is approximately 4-5 hours depending on grade level. Some classes require more writing :)
Deckerville Virtual Academy (in partnership with My Virtual Academy) has a presentation you can review if you are interested in the virtual option. Virtual learning option will have a meeting on Monday Aug 17 and a family commitment to go virtual will be expected Friday Aug 21.

Deckerville Community Schools would like to extend our thanks to the community in getting out the vote and passing our bond proposal. It was a resounding success. We had very high voter turnout for a primary election, 56%, and the bond passed by a very healthy margin of 34%. Once again, the residents of the Village of Deckerville and its surrounding townships have proven that they value the education of their students!
On the Tuesday, August 4th, 2020, primary ballot, Deckerville Community Schools has included a bond proposal for the voters of our school district. A bond proposal is a State-approved funding process for a set of projects. When the bonds are sold, they generate revenue for district improvements. Our last bond proposal, passed in 2011 has a current debt levy of 0.54 mills, which is by far the lowest in Sanilac County. With a proposed increase of 0.46 mills, the new millage that would be levied beginning in 2021 would be 1.00 mills ($1.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation), and would remain the lowest debt rate of our county’s school districts. A house with a valuation of $70,000 would see a tax increase of about $16.10, or about $1.34 per month. If passed, this bond proposal will generate $2.43 million in school improvement funds.
Deckerville Community Schools has a long and consistent history of fiscal responsibility, however, our facilities, though maintained, have continued to age. The revenue generated by this bond proposal will allow the district to address a number of infrastructure issues. These will include a partial roof replacement, band room remodeling and upgrades, restroom renovations, mechanical equipment improvements, replacement of critical galvanized piping, and asbestos abatement if needed. We will also replace the bleachers and floor in our main gymnasium, which were originally installed in 1964. Other improvements will include secure entry renovations and a public address system upgrade, two very important security considerations. Finally, we will also include instructional upgrades such as STEM lab renovations and classroom technology purchases. Projects will begin, if possible, in the summer of 2021.
Please remember to vote tomorrow, Tuesday, August 4th!
Parents and Guardians there is a survey available to fill out regarding School in the fall. Please email office@deckervillek12.org for a link to the survey.
