DeSoto Trail Elementary

We love our Trailblazers and want to provide them with opportunities to be successful inside and outside of school. We are fortunate to have a strong mentor program sponsored by our PTO that provides a variety of supports to our students in need academically, socially, or emotionally.

Research shows that a child who meets with a mentor once a week is less likely to try illegal drugs, experiment with alcohol, skip school, or get into a fight. A child who meets with a mentor is more likely to succeed in school. DeSoto Trail participates in the Leon County Schools mentoring program.
 
Becoming an LCS mentor is easy and rewarding:

• Step 1: Register for a New Mentor Training
• Step 2: Come to Mentor Training and learn the basic policies and tips on becoming a good mentor.
• Step 3: Get fingerprinted. All newly trained mentors are fingerprinted (at no cost) and after they are cleared, every 5 years.
• Step 4: Meet your School based Mentor Coordinator & your student!
