North DeSoto Upper Elementary

Congratulations to NDUE's Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Jessica Rawlings! Mrs. Rawlings cares about the whole child and puts her heart into all that she does for her students. There is no one better to represent our school than her!

Check out our Monday Memo!

In Ms. McLellan's class students investigated attraction of liquid molecules by putting drops on a penny and waiting for the bubble to burst! What a fun was to walk into the week!

These students worked hard on their Lighthouse Portfolios, and today they went to share them with the North DeSoto High School students! Thank you for representing our school so well!

Mrs. Darden has been with us for several years now. She is kind and compassionate and a favorite among her students. She has proven to be a leader on NDUE's campus in more than one way. Not only is she a great asset to the fourth grade team as an ELA teacher. She is also one of our technology gurus on campus, helping any new or veteran teacher with questions about all of our gizmos and gadgets! Finally, she is one of our newest members of the NDUE Leadership Team helping other teachers hone their craft throughout the building. #LEADlikeaGriffin

Mrs. Sharrow’s friends met their AR goal for the 1st 9 weeks! That means donuts for all! 🍩🍩😋 Nothing like a little reward after a lot of hard work! Great job beginning with the end in mind Griffins! #LEADlikeaGriffin

Mrs. Daniels is new to NDUE this year. She jumped right in to our culture and hit the ground running! She is a hard-working and patient teacher that we are very excited to have with us. Her team and students love seeing her every day!

Ms. Pender is one of our fourth grade teachers. She has been with us for a couple of years now, and we are so grateful to have her! She is always up to show her school spirit, being a Griffin alumni as well as teacher, and her dedication to her classroom and students is unmatched! #LEADlikeaGriffin

Mrs Darden’s homeroom is completing an escape room using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words! Can they get out? Challenge accepted! 🔎❤️💙

Mrs. Warren's 3rd grade class is working on learning their cardinal and intermediate directions. Each student took pride in making their own compass rose!
