North DeSoto Lower Elementary

Hi NDLE Parents! If you do not have a car tag for carline, please email Coach Barbo at julia.barbo@desotopsb.com.

📚 👩‍🏫 Our fearless NDLE Instructional Leadership Team are headed back to Stonewall as 👑 Camp Champs 👑 from the DeSoto Summer Institute at Clara Springs 🏕️ . Assistant Principal Lindsay Burford said, "We had no WIFI, slept on bunk beds, and ate old school cafeteria food." All of these sacrifices were worth it to bring home the gold 🥇. At NDLE, we know our staff have the hearts of champions and now we have the hardware to prove it 😆. We are looking forward to the new year with our Little Griffins. Parents, know that your child is in the instructional care of CHAMPIONS! #DreamBelieveAchieve #DeSotoDifference

📣 Summer may be quiet, but the hustle never stops at NDLE! 🧹☀️ While our students and teachers are enjoying a well-deserved break, our incredible custodial team is hard at work making sure every hallway shines and every classroom is ready to welcome smiling faces in the fall. 💪🏽🍎 Their dedication behind the scenes keeps our school running strong. Thank you for all you do! ❤️ #NDLEPride #ThankYouCustodians #PreparingForGreatness #DreamBelieveAchieve

Progress!! If you need to stop by NDLE, turn in at the "Y", NDHS Entrance, or Carpool Loop. NDLE is currently not accessible from our main entrance from Hwy 171.

NDLE hopes everyone is enjoying their Summer Break! If you've driven by, you should be excited to see construction beginning to ramp up at our site. Due to the construction, the phone lines for NDLE will have to be out for about a week. If you need to reach someone before Monday, please call 3188721198 or email Mr. Tabor at russell.tabor@desotopsb.com. He will be back in the office Monday morning. Reminder that our main entrance is at the cafeteria.

Check out this NDHS Football Camp for a fun summer activity!

Happy Summer, Little Griffins! Just a quick update. We hope you are enjoying your well earned time off!

We are so excited about this! One of our teachers saw another school district doing this and we just know our Little Griffins will love this. Get to know some of the Little Griffin Family and hear some of their favorite children's books. Every Thursday this summer a video will be uploaded to our Facebook page.

Here is a Summer reading challenge for our first grade students going in to NDUE.

Happy first day of Summer Break, NDLE Families! There is a lot of movement about to be going on beginning tomorrow. In anticipation of construction and progress going on at NDLE, our entrance, to the building, will now be at the cafeteria. If you are unaware of where our cafeteria is, it is on the north end of our building. For safety, and to streamline traffic in and out, the doors will be locked, during Summer Hours. Please call the school at (318) 925-2383 or email russell.tabor@desotopsb.com or tracy.miller@desotopsb.com if you need to come in and/or have any other questions that we can help you with. Have a wonderful Summer Break! #DreamBelieveAchieve
