Coday Johnston, District 6, has tirelessly advocated for the needs and interests of our students, parents, and educators. Thank you for #TheDeSotoDifference you are making in our school system.
Update: As all DeSoto Parish Schools and district offices reopen tomorrow please keep in mind that we are still experiencing icy conditions in some areas! With this in mind buses will exercise extreme caution and will not travel roads that are questionable!
All DeSoto Parish Schools and district offices will return to normal operations and activities on Thursday, January 18th. If you are still experiencing icy conditions in your area, please exercise caution and contact your child's school if you have any issues with the morning commute. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during these times. We are grateful to serve the best students, staff, and families in the world. You are #TheDeSotoDifference!!!
We would like to give a special shoutout to Ms. Alice Thomas, District 5. Her leadership and commitment to ensuring a quality education for all our students makes #TheDeSotoDifference in our schools.
Out of an abundance of caution, all DeSoto Parish Schools and district offices will remain closed on Wednesday, January 17th.
As main highways begin to clear, our numerous side streets and rural roads remain a major concern, as does the threat of black ice during the morning hours. Please take the necessary precautions if you must travel over the next 24 hours.
As always, student safety remains our #1 priority. We look forward to welcoming students and staff back to school on Thursday, January 18th.
We appreciate Mr. Donnie Dufour, District 4 ,for your dedication to our students and families. Your presence is greatly appreciated, as it reinforces the importance of community involvement and collaboration. Thank you for making #TheDeSotoDifference!

Today, as a school district, we stand united in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King’s dedication to the principles of love, compassion, and nonviolence inspires us all to work towards a better world. His commitment to freedom, equality, and the elimination of discrimination echoes through the halls of our schools, reminding us of the importance of unity, empathy, and understanding.
Together, let's strive for a world where kindness, understanding, and respect prevail. #MLKDAY #MovingForwardTogether #DeSotoStrong
