Dear DeSoto Family,
As we close the book on another school year, I am filled with great pride and much gratitude for the incredible accomplishments across DeSoto Parish Schools. The May issue of the DeSoto Digest truly highlights our mission of connecting the classroom to the community and demonstrates how our students, staff, and partners are Making a Difference every day.
This year, our students have achieved remarkable success, including a notable 10-point gain in early literacy, with 80% of K–3 students now reading at or above grade level. We have also seen our students excel through innovative, hands-on experiences, such as the new greenhouse and orchard at North DeSoto High School, where they are developing responsibility and valuable trade skills through real-world application. Congratulations are also due to the Lady Griffin LHSAA State Softball Champions and to the entire Class of 2026 as they embark on their next journey.
We also take a moment to honor the commitment of our employees and community partners. The dedication of The Heith Parker Facilities and Operations Building on May 8th was a meaningful tribute to a leader whose legacy of service continues to inspire us. I also want to thank our community partners for their support of our Employees of the Month program and the DOVE Dash fundraiser, which makes so many student experiences possible.
Looking ahead, we are excited to introduce JCampus Connect as our primary parent-teacher communication platform starting with the 2026–2027 school year, providing families with a more streamlined and connected experience. This transition will keep grades, attendance, assignments, school notifications, and direct communication all in one place. I urge all parents and guardians to download the JCampus Student App now to stay connected with their child's school and teachers.
Thank you to every student, staff member, family, and community partner for making this such a successful year. I encourage everyone to rest, relax, and have a great summer break! We look forward to welcoming everyone back in August
For Students' Sake,
Clay Corley
We honored Bus Operators whose dedication, patience, and commitment have safely carried countless students and staff through the years.

On behalf of the Transportation Department, thank you for your years of dedication, and service.
They provide Sonic drinks weekly for DOVE Dash to deliver to our schools in the Mansfield area and also Central Office during the school year. This fundraiser allows our class to participate in meaningful projects, trips, and experiences they may not otherwise be able to be a part of.
As always, we are grateful to operating owner Destiny Scott for everything she does, as well as her staff, who are always on the ball and ready to help with whatever we need. Their generosity, commitment, and support for the community are sincerely appreciated
As we wrap up another amazing school year, we want to wish all DeSoto Parish Schools students, families, teachers, and staff a safe and relaxing summer break! ☀️📚
Reminder: The last day of school is Friday, May 22 for students and teachers. Thank you for a great year, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next school year! #FinishStrong
📱 Staying connected with your child’s education is getting even easier!
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, DeSoto Parish Schools will transition from Apptegy Rooms to JCampus Connect within the JCampus Student App as our official teacher-parent communication platform.
This change will give families one convenient place to:
✔️ Communicate directly with teachers
✔️ View grades, attendance, schedules, and student information
✔️ Receive school and classroom updates
✔️ Monitor student progress in real time
To help families prepare for a smooth transition, we encourage all parents and guardians to download the FREE JCampus Student App from the App Store or Google Play if you have not already done so.

We are incredibly grateful for our dedicated School Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs). Every day, our SLPs work tirelessly behind the scenes to help students build essential communication skills, master speech sounds and articulation, enhance language comprehension and expression, develop social communication tools for success, and overcome barriers to learning and connection.
Communication is the foundation of all learning. Our SLPs ensure that every child in our district has the tools to find their voice, share their ideas, and thrive in the classroom. Please join us in thanking our amazing SLP team for their expertise, patience, and passion! 💙📚
