Durham Public Schools

¡Todavía quedan espacios disponibles para estudiantes hispanohablantes en los programas de inmersión lingüística dual (DLI) de las Escuelas Públicas de Durham para primaria y secundaria! 🌎📚

Para los estudiantes que ya hablan español en casa, los programas de inmersión dual DLI (por sus siglas en inglés) ayudan a reforzar las habilidades de lectura y escritura tanto en español como en inglés, al mismo tiempo que fomentan la confianza en el salón de clase, el rendimiento académico y las ventajas del bilingüismo a largo plazo. Los estudiantes también tienen la oportunidad de conservar y celebrar su idioma y cultura de origen en un entorno de aprendizaje que les brinda todo el apoyo necesario.

Las familias aún pueden presentar su solicitud a través del plazo de inscripción tardío:

📆 El plazo de solicitud para los programas de todo el año finaliza el 30 de junio.
📆 El plazo de solicitud para los programas con calendario tradicional finaliza el 31 de julio.

El bilingüismo es una ventaja, – y en las Escuelas Publicas de Durham nos enorgullece ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollarlo cada día.💙

There are still seats available for Spanish-speaking students in Durham Public Schools Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs for elementary and middle school! 🌎📚

For students who already speak Spanish at home, DLI programs help strengthen literacy skills in both Spanish and English while building classroom confidence, academic achievement, and long-term bilingual advantages. Students also gain the opportunity to maintain and celebrate their home language and culture in a supportive learning environment.

Families can still apply through the late lottery application:

📆 Year-round program applications close June 30
📆 Traditional calendar program applications close July 31
