Our NDMS adapted PE students participated in The Arc Caddo-Bossier’s GREAT Results riding program. GREAT is a therapeutic horseback riding program offering services to students with disabilities through certified instructors and trained volunteers. #GrowingTogether
NDMS staff was excited to enjoy coffee and energy drinks donated by Great Commission Coffee Co of Grand Cane yesterday. We appreciate you! It helped to make our Friday awesome! #growingtogether #TheDeSotoDifference #DeSotoPride #DeSotoStrong #DeSotoFamily
Shout out to NDMS's Baley who recently competed in the Texas Rose Classic at Texas Rose Horse Park in Tyler, Tx. She received a blue ribbon warm up round, a 3rd place and 4th place in .65m (2ft3) jumpers and two fourth place in .75m (2ft6) jumpers. Way to go, CONGRATULATIONS!!
DeSoto Difference Makers, families, and friends — There's nothing quite like a Friday night in DeSoto Parish. The lights, the band, the cheerleaders, and our teams giving it everything they've got, and a community that shows up for them. Keeping those moments safe and welcoming for every student, staff member, and fan in the stands is a responsibility we take seriously. With that in mind, beginning Friday, September 17, we'll be enhancing security at our athletic and extracurricular events with a clear bag procedure. It's a simple, common-sense step — already in place at many schools, colleges, and stadiums — that helps our staff and law enforcement partners keep entrances moving and everyone safe. Here's the quick version: ✅ One clear bag, up to 12" x 6" x 12" (a one-gallon freezer bag works great) ✅ A small clutch, up to 4.5" x 6.5" ✅ Diaper bags and medically necessary bags are welcome and will be checked 🚫 Backpacks, duffel bags, large or non-clear purses, and similar bags won't be permitted at the gate All bags are subject to search, and anything that doesn't meet the guidelines can simply be returned to your vehicle before entry. The graphic below lays it all out so you know what to expect before the next home game. This reflects who we are — a district committed to excellence and to doing right by the people we serve. I am grateful for a community that stands with us in that commitment, and thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. I'll see you at the game. Let's go make a difference! For Students' Sake, Clay J. Corley Superintendent
We would like to take this time and thank Officer Matthew Holloway for all that he has done for our NDMS students and staff. Honestly, there isn't anything that he couldn't do and the way he cared for our students and staff should serve as a model to people everywhere. Leaving DeSoto, moving to Bossier, we look forward to seeing how he impacts BPSB students and staff as he leads and serves. Thank you sir for all you do!

NDMS's own Kaiden, a service leader, has been gathering donations for Title 1 School, Pine Grove Elementary in Shreveport, to help stock their school store. Last week, he dropped off a large donation of school supplies, stickers, personal hygiene items, games, keychains, etc. for the students to shop at their store. Students earn Elf Bucks for good behavior and good grades allowing them to shop for items they need or want. Great job, Kaiden! You are #TheDeSotoDifference! #GriffinPride
