North DeSoto Upper Elementary

Thanksgiving Break Has Begun! Wishing all of our Griffins a restful and joyful Thanksgiving Break. We hope your week is filled with gratitude, good food, and time well spent with those who matter most. Enjoy the time off, and we’ll see you soon!

✨ Happy Substitute Education Day! ✨
Today we celebrate the incredible substitute educators who step in with flexibility, patience, and heart. You keep our classrooms running, support our students with kindness, and bring calm to the unexpected.

Thank you for showing up, adapting on the fly, and making a difference, often with only a moment’s notice. You are the steady hands and bright smiles that keep learning going.

Here’s to the heroes who turn the "backup plan" into something AMAZING! #LEADlikeaGriffin
