Shout out to Mrs. Lowe's theater WIN students supporting their fellow cast members, Kha'Mella and Kennedi, by attending tonight's game against the Lady Wolverines of MMS. These talented Griffins are putting on Fairy Tale Christmas Carol, November 30 and December 2.
Good luck, Middle Griffins, taking on the Stallions of CMM tonight. 6th/7th grade currently playing with 8th grade to follow.
While the Bond funds are largely focused on a new high school facility, the impact would be felt across all North DeSoto schools. High school students would have a future-focused learning environment, middle school students would have amazing lab and career spaces by moving into the current high school, elementary students would see smaller class sizes and get more one-on-one time with teachers, and the three- and four-year-old PreK programs would be able to accommodate more young learners instead of having a waitlist.

7th graders are learning the major body systems and their functions. Students are researching different diseases and are comparing how those diseases affect molecules delivered to cells for proper function. It's a great day in NDMS science! #TheDeSotoDifference
There have been reports of a few inaccurate statements and resources circulating about the bond plan. If you would like more information or to check the accuracy of what you are seeing on social media, feel free to reach out to questions@desotopsb.com or Superintendent Corley as the district is required to provide only factual information.

NDMS students interested in joining the ND Fishing Team stop by the school office during your lunch time.
A special shout out for these two Griffins, Khloe and Madi, also Shreveport Cabosa soccer players, that played this weekend in Tyler, TX bringing home the championship. Way to go, Lady Griffins!
How are current spaces impacting the school day?
The communities served by North DeSoto schools have seen tremendous growth in recent years. The current North DeSoto Lower Elementary facility originally served grades K-6 and now houses preK-1. North DeSoto Upper Elementary has grown from four classes per grade level to ten. We are proud to serve every student in our schools, but we are simply running out of space. Hallways are crowded, we struggle to accommodate activities, and class sizes are higher than the rest of the parish due to space constraints. The bond proposal proposes a new high school facility, giving the capacity to reconfigure current spaces to meet the needs of the growing community.
