Principal's Message
Welcome to Southbury Elementary School!
We are truly family here. I am fortunate to be part of such a supportive school environment. I find so much joy seeing our staff members interact and engage with our students. My favorite part of each day is getting to see the smiles on everyone’s faces!
I became the principal of Southbury in 2024. My previous experiences include teaching and serving as an assistant principal. My time with SD 308 spans back to 1998, when I worked in our district until moving out of state in 2015. I returned to the district in 2022.
Everyone at Southbury is amazing at supporting each other. Our teachers work hard every day to provide meaningful, engaging instruction to meet the needs of all the students in the building. Our staff is always ready to help and celebrate accomplishments!
As students come to school and walk our halls each day, I hope they feel welcome and included. They need to know that they matter!
-Jill Decker, Principal
