It’s election day! Voters in North DeSoto (District no. 2) can make their voices heard on a capital improvement bond proposal aimed at providing a modern learning environment with small class sizes, future focused programming, and space to accommodate the anticipated growth in the area. Learn more about the proposal and make an informed decision at the polls! https://www.desotopsb.com/page/north-desoto-bond-2023

Shout out to NDMS cheerleaders for helping with North DeSoto Upper Elementary incentive day. It's a great day to be a Middle Griffin! #TheDeSotoDifference #GriffinsServe #GriffinsLead #GriffinFamily #GriffinPride

Shout out to NDMS's Mrs. Saverino and Mrs. Allen for participating in DPSB's Operation LEAD. You are #TheDeSotoDifference!

Voting by mail in the election for North DeSoto (District no. 2)? The deadline for mail ballots to be received is tomorrow (November 17). Election Day is November 18! https://www.desotopsb.com/page/election-information-north-desoto

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. https://www.desotopsb.com/page/the-plan-north-desoto

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. Visit the bond website and be sure to cast an informed vote! https://www.desotopsb.com/page/north-desoto-bond-2023

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

Congratulations North DeSoto Middle School, an 'A' rated school. It's a great day to be a Middle Griffin! #GriffinPride #GriffinStrong #TheDeSotoDifference

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.

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!
