❄️ DeSoto Parish Schools Winter Weather Update ( 3:30 PM)
Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we work through the ongoing effects of the winter weather.
This afternoon, district leaders are working alongside local partners to assess road conditions to help guide our decision-making for school operations on Friday, January 30. In addition, a few campuses are still experiencing extremely low or no water pressure, and those conditions continue to be evaluated.
For these reasons, we will shift the time for announcing an official decision from 4:00 pm to 6:00 p.m. to make the most informed decision possible. We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we carefully monitor conditions across the parish.
The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. District leaders will continue to monitor conditions and will share additional updates regarding school operations as more information becomes available.
Families and staff are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring official district communication channels, including the district website, Facebook page, and text/mobile alerts. Thank you for your continued support—please use caution and stay safe.
