At North DeSoto Middle, our core values are Learn, Lead, and Serve. They guide every decision we make and every goal we set. As we move into a busy and exciting December, we want to take a moment to highlight how strong attendance supports each of these values. When students are present, on time, and engaged throughout the full school day, they are better positioned to learn deeply, build the skills to lead confidently, and find opportunities to serve their school and community. Every day matters, and your partnership in keeping students on campus helps us continue to grow in all three areas. To celebrate and encourage consistent attendance, we are excited to launch our December Monday Raffle! Each Monday in December, we will draw winners from students who: Were on campus all week, Did not check out, and Arrived on time each day. Students who meet all criteria for the previous week will automatically be entered. We can’t wait to see which students, and even which staff members, take home prizes next week as we kick off this fun attendance incentive! 💙🎉❤️CONGRATULATIONS❤️🎉💙 to our first NDMS students, Jirus and Kenny, and staff member, Mrs. Octavi, whose names were drawn this morning! Way to go, Griffins! You are #thedesotodifference!
