Parent's Right to Know

The Parents’ Right to Know Act (Act 2024-35) requires Decatur City Schools to ensure that currently adopted curricula for each class are available on the website of the school and that access to online curricula is available to students, parents, or guardians of enrolled students through the school website. Decatur City Schools strives to carefully align all academic and curricular decisions with the Alabama State Department of Education’s Courses of Study, the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP), and the American College Test (ACT).

Parents/Guardians, if you have any questions regarding curriculum and/or instruction, please do not hesitate to contact your child's principal or teacher.
