DeISD Counselors Ensure Student Wellness
The Student Support Services department has also implemented a system to help counselors remain responsive to students and staff. Students can connect with counselors individually via email, phone, as well as schedule times for individual support needs. Also, during ongoing student wellness checks with their teachers, campus and district staff have a system in place to refer students that prompt concern to the appropriate counselor. 
Navigating Anytime, Anywhere Learning: Tutorials & More
Realizing the need to alleviate potential challenges students and families may experience in utilizing the AAL framework, the DeSoto ISD Teaching, Learning and Leadership Division created a wide-ranging database of instructional and tutorial videos to support stakeholders navigating this shift to self-guided remote learning. The video database features tutorials on accessing learning management systems including Schoology and Google Classroom.

Celebrating National Library Week
