Happy New Year Parents of Diggs-Latham Elementary!

We are off to a great start this year.

The end of quarter is January 17th.
Students in grades 3-5 are taking EOQ's (End of quarter test) and K-2 are also taking mid-year assessments.

READ TO ACHIEVE Initiative for 3rd grade began the week of January 13th.
Please make sure your child is reading at least 20-30 minutes every night!

Diggs-Latham will be holding math night on January 30th from 5:45-7:15. Please plan to attend!
We look forward to a fun night of learning new math games and stategies!
