North DeSoto Upper Elementary

NDUE Car Pick-Up: Please make sure that you have your student's car tag daily. If you do forget it, you will receive a RED tag that will be placed on the outside of your windshield. Please get in the Error Lane #4 and we will call your child from the gym. All cars must enter from entrance #6 (by NDLE) in the afternoon to have their tag # entered correctly. We are committed to making this process FASTER for all and need your help to make it happen. We are BETTER TOGETHER! Thanks for your continued patience-Geaux Griffins!
