Parent Connect Program

Parents can get frequent updates on their student’s academic progress and their discipline record on the Internet.  Parents can go to the DeSoto County Schools website, www.desotocountyschools.org to get sign-up information. There is a link to Parent Connect on this website--see the navigation bar.

Fee Payment

Fees are required for some classes. Students are allowed to pay fees in the main office before school, during their break, and during their lunch. Students must pay fees with cash or money orders. No checks are accepted.  Students are responsible for keeping their receipt after the fee is paid and they are responsible for showing the receipt to the appropriate teacher. Students who have not paid fees will not receive their report cards until all fees have been paid.
