DeSoto families, thank you for continuing to show up and support your students each day. This week, our district maintained a 95% attendance rate, meeting our goal during a very important time in the school year.
We are now in the state LEAP testing window, and being at school every day truly makes a difference. When students are present, they feel more confident, stay in rhythm with their learning, and are better prepared. Even one missed day can mean missing valuable instruction or support.
We know this time of year can be busy, and we appreciate the effort it takes to keep students on track. Your partnership matters, and it shows in your child’s success.
Let’s continue working together to finish strong—because #AttendanceMatters and #EveryDayCounts.
