Reminder that NDLE Field Day on Friday, March 22!
PreK-4, Kindergarten, and First grade classes will have Field Day at NDHS Griffin Stadium 10:00-11:30. Parents and families are welcome to come watch the games from the track or the stands.
Mrs. Hasty’s PreK-3, Mrs. Carpenter and Procell's ECSE classes will have a different schedule and location. Contact those teachers directly for questions.
All students need to wear athletic bottoms and shoes. They will wear their class shirt for Field Day.
Please tell your teacher if you plan to check your child out after Field Day so they can bring their backpacks to Griffin Stadium.
The April 2024 proposal is significantly reduced in costs at $85.2 million with a millage rate of 22. The plan proposes the construction of a new high school and upgrades to the lower elementary which would be combined with reconfiguring grade levels across current facilities.

In December 2023, more than 600 community members participated in a survey to gather more information about the election results and priorities for a solution. Respondents overwhelmingly felt that the 2023 bond was too expensive for taxpayers and that they wanted to see a solution that was less than $100 million with more details available.

Schools in the North DeSoto area continue to face the challenge of accommodating the community’s rapidly growing population.
North DeSoto Lower Elementary is facing challenges, including the inability to have the same 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio that is seen in other parts of the parish. While we are proud to have lower class sizes than elsewhere in the state, creating a standard for the Parish creates a strong sense of community and support for all of our students. The building originally housed students in kindergarten through sixth grade and now serves PreK through first grade.
