North DeSoto Lower Elementary

Monday Memo September 3-6, 2024

NDLE's Mission Statement: The Little Griffin family serves, cares, and educates creating a love for learning leading to graduation.

Little Griffin S.O.A.R. Behavior Expectations

All students are expected to follow our Little Griffin S.O.A.R. Behavior Expectations. The "A" in S.O.A.R. stands for "act respectful". We tell students that acting respectful means you use nice words and good manners. It also means to be kind and caring towards all adults and children on our campus. Using words like "please", "thank you", and "excuse me" are always welcome at NDLE when talking to classmates, the cafeteria ladies, custodians, administrators, and other teachers. Another part of acting respectful that we teach, is to be fair. This means that all Little Griffins must learn to take turns and share classroom equipment and materials. Learning how to act respectful to others is a lifelong skill that can help our Little Griffins succeed in all they do.

Calling all parents!

Fall sports are here! I would love to have some pictures of our Little Griffins playing Fall sports (dance and cheer and other after school activities are welcome too!) These pictures will be featured on the display screens at our school so our students can see them while they eat lunch. Email your pictures to tara.brawley@desotopsb.com

Reminders...

  • ALL messaging will be done through ROOMS so it is very important to have this set up. Email tara.brawley@desotopsb.com if you need help

  • Class DOJO is an app to download to view your child's behavior at school. If you have questions about behavior, ask your teacher through ROOMS.

  • We only accept cash for any kind of money collection at school. Please send the exact amount. All money should be in an envelope or ziplock bag with your child's name, their teacher's name, and what the money is for.

  • If your child will be going home a different way, please send a dated note to your child's teacher and an email to Mrs. Miller or Mrs. Salter in the office by 12:00 pm. tracy.miller@desotopsb.com or dena.salter@desotopsb.com

  • Please label all backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, and jackets with your child's first and last name. This will help us return items when they are lost.
