We’re putting the final touches on all bus route information in Edulog. Once everything is ready, your child’s school will send out the details along with instructions and tracking information. Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure a smooth start to the school year!










🎒✏️ First day vibes:
✅ Backpack bigger than your child
✅ Brand new shoes already stepped in mud
✅ 4,000 photos taken before 7:00 AM
✅ Tears (mostly from parents)
Yes, the car line is long. Yes, your child forgot their lunch 4 seconds after you pulled away. And yes, you forgot to send back the important class forms.
But through the chaos, there's excitement in the air — and we’re thrilled to welcome back our amazing students and families. Let’s make it a year full of learning, laughter, and maybe mastering the car line on the first try. (We believe in you.) 💪😉
Thanks for showing up with smiles, patience, and a strong sense of humor. We're ready to launch a fantastic school year — traffic cones and all! 😅✨
BTW…we would love it if you tagged us in your “First Day of School moments” We love seeing the smiles and positive energy on the first day back! #DeSotoStrong #WinningTogether!

This year, our district-wide focus is clear: #AttendanceMatters. Our goal is for every student to be present and engaged, with a district attendance goal of 95%. Why? Because showing up = success! 💪🎓
When students are in class, they unlock opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. Your partnership is crucial in making #EveryDay count for our students!
Let’s start strong and boost the momentum as we start a brand new year! We can’t wait to see those smiling faces tomorrow! #DeSotoStrong #WinningTogether

Your support fuels our mission and inspires our educators every day. Here’s to a year of excellence, collaboration, and student success! 💙❤️ 💚💛📚 #WinningTogether #TheDeSotoDifference #DeSotoStrong

We want to give a HUGE shoutout and heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing community partners and sponsors. Your support makes this event possible and helps us celebrate, connect, and prepare to give our students the very best.
Your investment in our schools helps fuel the passion and purpose that drives #TheDeSotoDifference. Together, we're not just starting the year — we're #WinningTogether!
Let’s make 2025-2026 the best year yet!
