Transition Day

Shoutout to Mrs. Gordon for reaching "gold level" and becoming an Ambassador for DonorsChoose; she has been using Donors Choose for over 19 years and brought 43+ grants to our school.

Our Schoolwide Management System and Expectations are PBIS-based and called “PAWS.” We “show our PAWS” and “keep our PAWS” to be prepared, with an A+ Attitude, to work responsibly, and show respect. Today, Assistant Principal Latta, led a PBIS/PAWS Kickoff, including a “RIDES” reminder for bus safety.

Thank you to our longtime, community partner, Home Moravian Church, for the generous donation of school supplies. They also sponsored a breakfast for staff on one of the beginning-of-the-year workdays. They send volunteers to us throughout the year.

Thank you HMC for all you continue to do for us.

Special thanks to Winston Salem First Pentecostal Holiness Church for the generous donation of school supplies! They also had two volunteers manage our mascot on the first day of school. Thank you WSFPH for your continued partnership and support.

We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Winston-Salem Symphony PLAY Music program. #afterschoolprogram #WSFCSDLES

#DLESPTA has rebranded themselves as "Tiger Family." They want to see you and hear from you this year. You have many ways to get involved from sharing your email and getting on the communication list to purchasing a tee-shirt or Magnet. You can sign up to help with school events or volunteer.

Thank you #TigerFamily for supporting the PK/K Orientation, Open House, and a staff luncheon so far this year.

During Kindergarten Orientation, students were invited to meet our mascot, Taz, the Tiger, and pose for a "photo op" for "signing day."

Welcome to the DLES Team! #Classof2038

At Diggs-Latham, we integrate Academics and Arts in all we do. Each year, we create a sub-theme that reflects just that.

This year, we are "Growing by Leaps and Bounds." Our infrastructure and instructional practices aim at best practices for academic growth. As we have reflected different aspects of our Arts Magnet theme over the years, this year, we reflect 'dance' in the "leaps and bounds" we are going to move to met and exceed growth.

Our staff made connections to the theme during our beginning-of-the-year workshops, meetings, and professional development. We even worked in small groups to teach and learn dance moves, reflecting on best practices for teaching students new concepts and scaffolding the learning.


We look forward to an exciting year, full of active engagement, "growing by leaps and bounds."
