Middle Griffins Monday Memo, 09/08/2025

Lyndsey Rhoads, Principal Cora Saverino, Assistant Principal Kevin Cornet, Administrative Assistant North DeSoto Middle School serves to educate the hearts and minds of young people for a life time of learning, leadership, and service.

Real Talk with Rhoads..

NDMS Families,

As we move forward, we want to keep our school’s core values, Lead, Learn, and Serve, at the center of all we do. These values guide our students not only in the classroom but also in their relationships, activities, and future goals. As a school, we are working on calling out these values in students when we see them. We encourage you to also look for ways you see your students leading, learning, and serving, and to speak life to them around these values. These core values don’t just produce strong students; they grow strong people and adults. 

Just a reminder about our Weekly Events:

  • Student-Parent-Teacher Conferences – Monday, 10:00 AM–6:00 PM

  • Home Football Game – Tuesday at 5:00 PM

  • Volleyball at Calvary – Thursday at 4:30 PM

Let's have a great week!
~Mrs. Rhoads
