Here are our first NDLE Griffin Leaders for this school year. One student is chosen from each class based on showing our Little Griffin SOAR Behavior expectations consistently. These students have Safe Behavior, are On Task, Act Respectful, and make Responsible choices. They have been working hard and showing leadership around our school by greeting students in the morning, helping with morning announcements, passing out birthday prizes, and helping their teacher in their classrooms. We are so proud of you! And we can't wait to see who gets chosen as Griffin Leader for next week! Keep on working to show your Little Griffin SOAR behavior expectations!
NDLE: Great job, Little Griffins! Your ongoing cooperation with the changes has been instrumental in refining our drop-off procedures. To further improve the efficiency of our traffic flow and ensure the safety of both our students and drivers, we have made some important adjustments:
- Three U-Turn Options for vehicles coming from the North: #3, #5, and #7 (see map)
- Three Exit Options after NDLE drop-off: #3, #4, and #5 (see map)
- We will begin letting students out of cars at 7:10
- Please continue to enter the North side of the bus loop.
These adjustments are part of our ongoing efforts to create a more efficient and safe environment for North DeSoto students. Thank you once again for your continued support and cooperation. Together, we can ensure a safe and positive start and end to each school day. #bettertogether
NDLE Families: Please be patient as we continue to refine drop-off and pick-up. The following tips will help as we work everything out. Student safety is our number one responsibility. Please follow the procedures in place to ensure efficiency.
In music class, PreK students practiced letter A from our Little Griffin SOAR Behavior Expectations. "A" stands for "Act Respectful". Students were acting respectful by sharing and taking turns with some classroom instruments.
Little Griffin Families, After studying and reflecting on the morning drop-off line and traffic on HWY 171 and ND Parking Lots, the decision has been made to move to the same route used in the afternoons. Therefore, all morning drop-offs, for NDLE, will enter the Bus Loop, north of NDUE, and follow in one line, through the parking lot and behind the flagpole. Drop-Offs will start at 7:15 am. Additional Car line reminders: Make sure your car tag is for the 24-25 school year. Cell phone use is prohibited in car line. Thank you all for your flexibility as this change is for the safety of all our Griffin Families. Thank you, NDLE

NDLE wants to thank Mr. Burback for stepping away from his role at central office to help out during our work day. Having district leaders who truly have a servant's heart is what makes the DeSoto difference. ❤️
