As part of its continued commitment to supporting families and ensuring student success, DeSoto Independent School District will distribute free school supplies and clear backpacks during the district’s upcoming Enrollment Fairs:

Enrollment Fair Dates & Times (all at DeSoto High School Early College High School Gym, 600 Eagle Drive, DeSoto, TX 75115)

·        Thursday, July 31, 2025 – 8:00 AM–11:00 AM & 3:00 PM–7:00 PM

·        Saturday, August 2, 2025 – 8:00 AM–12:00 PM

These events aim to help families finalize 2025–2026 enrollments in person.

Who Is Eligible:
Supplies and backpacks are available to scholars who complete enrollment during the fairs or present proof of already completed enrollment.

What’s Included:

·        Lower and upper elementary school supply packs

·        Middle and high school supply packs

 

Backpacks:

A small allotment of clear backpacks will be made available at the upcoming enrollment fairs on a first-come, first-served basis, pending completion of enrollment or ability to provide proof of completed enrollment. Additionally, clear backpacks will be available for sale on the district website in the coming weeks for purchase.

DeSoto ISD is also preparing for a district-wide distribution of supplies across campuses ahead of the new school year. Supply bundles are being standardized by grade level to ensure equitable access, and inventory teams are working to finalize available stock.

As part of this effort, the district is evaluating the best use of leftover branded clear backpacks from last year. These may be included in the giveaways or made available again through the RevTrack online store.

In addition to supporting families at the Enrollment Fair, DeSoto ISD will prepare equal campus distributions in time for open house events to make sure every scholar starts the year equipped for success.
