NDLE is limbo-ing into the weekend with a Fabulous Friday assembly! We celebrated first graders who have already met their words per minute goal for the year and this week’s Griffin Leaders. Surprise! The kids won the limbo contest against the teachers! We have these assemblies once a month to celebrate our students academic achievements and for our entire school to come together for some fun. We are grateful to have a gym that can accommodate all of our students and teachers.

A big THANK YOU to our NDLE Booster Club for purchasing new P.E. Equipment! All of our 500 students visit P.E. and use their equipment which means a lot of wear and tear happens. Thank you to all of the parents who support our Booster Club's fundraisers, like Concessions and T-shirt sales, to make positive things like this happen! #DreamBelieveAchieve #PositiveCaringCulture

In memory of Martin Luther King, Jr., NDLE will be closed on Monday, January 20th.

Friendly Reminder for North DeSoto Families: As we continue to prioritize safety and efficiency during car line, we kindly ask all families to take a moment to review the car line maps and ensure that your car tags are clearly visible. This small step helps us keep the process smooth and organized for everyone. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in making car line pickup and drop-off as safe and efficient as possible for all our students and staff. Thank you for your continued support! Coming back, from the break, our efficiency is continuing to improve, and a few requests to ensure that continues and everyone is safe is to enter at the correct entrance and do not u-turn on the back loop, refrain from cellphone use, and do not go around cars, in line, unless motioned to. Please see the graphic which shows another option exiting NDLE's Campus if you are needing to go to NDMS or NDUE. Thank you and Happy New Year.
