Dear DeSoto County School District Community, 

In collaboration with multiple community partners and volunteers over the past two weeks, our district and school teams have been working around the clock to address the impacts of Hurricane Ian. Our mission is to safely welcome students and staff back into our schools and facilities as soon as possible. To ensure the safety of all, an industrial hygienist is testing and clearing all facilities in the district. We are reopening schools in two phases. Please Read the Full Announcement Below:
