Greetings, CSD:
I hope you have enjoyed your summer break. With a week until our school doors reopen, our teachers, school leaders, and administrative staff are working diligently to plan for the return of our students. This special Back-to-School issue aims to provide CSD updates and reminders to assist you in preparing for another great school year!
This year, we will continue to use our All In Decatur Strategic Plan as a roadmap, refocusing our equity work to ensure that we are equitably and effectively improving outcomes for every student. We understand that each student brings unique experiences and learning styles, and our mission is to honor and celebrate those differences while providing supportive environments where every student is truly safe, seen, and successful. At CSD, All Means All is more than just a mantra. All truly means All.
I remain humbled and delighted to serve as your superintendent, and I am excited about the growth and possibilities that this school year will bring. Let us work together to create a dynamic school community where students feel valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
Thank you for being All In! We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday, July 30 - rested and ready to learn!
Sincerely,
Dr. Gyimah Whitaker

At the beginning of every school year, it is critical for families to use the Parent Portal for back-to-school readiness. Action needed:- Complete the Annual Data Update (ADU). The ADU is how families verify or update critical communication and health information and do sign-offs for the handbook and code of conduct. From the Portal home screen, select More ⇒ Annual Data Update. More information about the Annual Data Update is available at https://www.csdecatur.net/adu. All new and returning parents must update student information via Infinite Campus BEFORE July 30.
- Apply for Free/Reduced-Price Meal Benefits. We encourage ALL families to apply. Families that previously received benefits must reapply every year. In the Portal, select More ⇒ Meal Benefits. More information about the meal benefit is available at https://www.csdecatur.net/nutrition.
- Add funds and set up balance alerts and auto-payment for meal account balances. In the Portal, select Food Service.
If you need help with the Portal, visit https://www.csdecatur.net/portalhelp or contact your school’s front office.
