Communications Update
If you are not getting notifications from the DeSoto Schools app, please make sure it is updated to Version 4.4.0 If an update does not fix the problem, delete the app and re-install it on your device. If those two things do not fix the problem, please email tara.brawley@desotopsb.com or call our office at (318) 925-2383 and tell our secretaries that you are having problems with ROOMs. This is the primary method of communication for ALL DeSoto Parish schools so let us help you make sure you are set up correctly for next year. This app is connected to the email and phone number you used when enrolling your child so if that has changed, then it will not work properly.
Here is a link to the DeSoto Parish website's Parent Hub to help with ROOMs https://www.desotopsb.com/page/rooms-support
