Mark your calendars for April 9, 2025. Prospective teachers and upcoming resident teachers are invited to join us in DeSoto Parish to see why we are #TheDesotoDifference. It will be a fun filled day visiting each campus in our district. We can't wait to meet you!

At DeSoto Parish Schools, we know that #EveryDayCounts when it comes to student success. Research shows that consistent attendance is one of the most important factors in a child’s academic achievement. When students show up, they grow up—stronger in their skills, more confident in their abilities, and prepared for the future! Thank you for your hard work this month in prioritizing attendance! We see your efforts, and we are so proud of the strides you’re making. #AttendanceMatters #DeSotoStrong

PSA ON POTENTIAL THREAT MADE TO DESOTO PARISH SCHOOLS DeSoto Parish Schools and The DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office have been made aware of a social media post that was shared within the past 24 hours. At this time, it is believed that a live video was shared where an individual insinuated a threat targeting various schools in Caddo and DeSoto Parishes. We simply want the public to know that this matter is under an active investigation, and that no real threat has been identified at this moment that should cause the public any alarm. Given the nature of the matter, and as is standard procedure, DeSoto Parish Law Enforcement has increased man-power at and around all of our DeSoto Schools until any/all information that can be obtained is properly investigated. We are actively working alongside the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office to communicate any new information as it becomes available. 
It is important to note that while threats such as this happen all-to-often all around our nation, and especially right after tragic news in other areas, we will always take every threat with the utmost seriousness. If at any moment our office believes there to be a legitimate danger to students or staff, we will inform all residents instantly through the DeSoto Parish Mobile app and social media platforms in conjunction with The DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s communication channels . As of this moment, no threat or cause for alarm has been identified.
