Rescue Task Force Training at DMS
Decorah Community School District is hosting a Rescue Task Force joint training opportunity for law enforcement, fire personnel, ambulance personnel, and emergency management personnel from all over Northeast Iowa.
This training is being held at Decorah Middle School on Thursday, June 13 and Friday, June 14. You will see many emergency vehicles located near or around Decorah Middle School as well as many participants in uniforms and training gear. There is NO reason for concern as they are only practicing using one of the Decorah Community School District buildings.
Decorah Middle School Orchestra lessons are still being held as scheduled in the Orchestra room on Thursday, June 13.
Decorah Community School District's Central Administration Office (CAO) phone number (563) 382-4208 is NOT ringing in to the office to be answered. All of the district school building numbers are working and are functioning as expected.
This is a PHONE CARRIER PROBLEM and they are working on the situation with a technician being dispatched for Tuesday, June 11. We will update the district website as we have updates.

Early Dismissal and School Calendar
We’ve had the question arise on our early outs and whether or not they affect our required days of attendance. The simple answer is ,“No.” As per a rewrite of the legislation, all late starts or early outs due to weather are treated in the same fashion they always have been; they count as a full day of school. In other words, early releases due to weather have no effect on our school calendar.
