• Good afternoon, YDMS is looking forward to a successful LEAP 2025 Testing Week with our Spartans! Our students (Grades 6, 7, & 8) will participate in state-mandated LEAP 2025 testing April 26th - May 2nd. Testing will begin promptly each morning. Students should plan to get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast in the morning, and prepare to do their best! Please make arrangements to ensure that your student attends school regularly and on time for the entire school day on these important days. If at all possible, please refrain from scheduling routine appointments that will keep your student away from school during state testing. Finally, you may wish to have your students complete Online Tools Training available from the LDOE in preparation of testing (https://wbte.drcedirect.com/LA/portals/la). Thank you!
Peyton Parker, Youree Drive 8th Grader Student of the Year, and his Advanced English Teacher, Teri Durst, were recognized at the 40th Annual Holocaust Remembrance Service today in Shreveport. Peyton won 2nd Place in Middle School Literary Competition for his essay, “Without Prejudice.” Several of Mrs. Durst’s students and Mrs. Spann showed up to support Peyton, and to hear Holocaust Survivor Andras Lacko speak. #SpartanProud
