We are especially grateful for the incredible staff and families who give their all every day to support our students and school.

NDUE's Rylen Hopper and Adrienne Hutcherson both participated in the DeSoto Parish 4-H Horse Club, attending monthly classroom lessons and arena training to learn all aspects of horse care, ownership, and riding.

In May, they competed in the DeSoto Parish Horse Show and then went on to the Regional 4-H Horse Show in June, where they competed in Western events such as Horsemanship and Showmanship.

We are proud to share that both students placed at Regionals and qualified for the State 4H Horse Show in Beauregard Parish! Congratulations to Rylen and Adrienne on this outstanding accomplishment! Way to go ladies! #LEADlikeaGriffin

Attention Griffins!

We know things can easily get misplaced during the school day, and our Lost and Found area fills up quickly! To help keep it organized and make it easier for families to find items, we’re introducing a Lost and Found Drive this year.

Here’s how it will work:

*Every two weeks, we will log all Lost and Found items and start fresh.

*Items will be uploaded into the Lost and Found Drive, which will be linked in the Monday Memo.

*Parents are welcome to check the drive at any time. If you see something that belongs to your child, simply complete the linked Google Form, and we will send the item home with your student.

*We will also continue to set out Lost and Found items during Parent Conference days.

We hope this new system helps streamline the process of reuniting students with their belongings. Go Griffins! #LEADlikeaGriffin

NDUE FAMILIES: Help us speed up our car line! We have a goal of all students being loaded by 3:30!
1.) Check in on Pikmykid when you get to NDMS or SHARE your location on the app to check in automatically.
2.) Use your flashers to tell us your student(s) are loaded (pm only) and unloaded (am only), and you're ready to roll.
THANKS for your HELP. We are BETTER TOGETHER! Geaux Griffins.
