Decatur ISD phone service has been restored. If you experience trouble reaching a campus please try again or call from a different number. Thank you for your patience as our IT department continues to work on the disabled main computer server.
At 5:51 am the DISD main server went down. At this time this is NOT believed to have been caused by "hacking." We are working on a temp solution while the server is being repaired. Phone service is inconsistent at this time b/c the phones work off the internet. Students are completing scheduled lessons.
DISD internet is down. This also affects our phone lines. We will let you know when internet and phones are back up and running.

Please let us know if you have questions or problems logging on.
DISD ALERT!
There is a new app trending, Saturn, which allows students to upload their school info so they can connect with others. IT RAISES CONCERN.
