Decatur
Parents Network

A City of Decatur (Georgia) community of parents, caregivers, and friends promoting a nurturing environment that encourages kids to make safe, smart choices.

Adolescence is an exciting, yet often challenging, time for our children. It's a transitional period full of discovery, skill building, and greater independence. We all want our children to explore their world and experience its wonders ... safely. We can't protect them from everything, but we can educate ourselves and support each other to create a nurturing environment that encourages their smart choices.

CSD is very excited to partner with the new Decatur Parents Network. It’s great to have such a dedicated group to work with, a win/win for our district. These folks have created a solid infrastructure to organize and mobilize Decatur parents to battle risky teen behaviors. I’m confident that all our students and parents will benefit from their efforts, and I’m pleased to join hands with them.
