One of Paisley’s distinguished MYP Certificate holders, Theo Mitiku, has passed, succumbing to cancer, much too young. We have lost a talented young man.

After earning his MYP Certificate at Paisley, he graduated from Parkland Magnet High School and the when on to Wingate College for his undergraduate degree.

Services will include Vespers Saturday, July 1, 2023, at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 2-5 p.m. The church is located in Shalimar Drive in Winston-Salem.

If possible, Paisley family, plan to join us for these services.

The funeral service is scheduled for Monday, July 3, at 11 a.m. also at Emmanuel Baptist Church.

Good evening Paisley IB Family, this is Dr. Mann with your last weekly update for the year of 2021! I hope everyone has stayed dry and warm this weekend. Now for your weekly updates.

We will only be in school on Monday and Tuesday this week. Holiday break starts on Wednesday, December 23, 2021 and goes through January 4, 2022. Students will return to school on Wednesday, January 5th.

On behalf of the staff, I would like to say “Thank you” to the PTSA for providing lunch and all the families that provided a multitude of treats on Friday. It was greatly appreciated by all! Also, another “Thank you” to the PTSA for providing the staff with a long sleeve T-shirt as well.

Last Friday our high school students spent a majority of the day in the auditorium due to having several teachers absent. It had nothing to do with information on Tik Tok. This was the easiest solution to supervise students with the teachers we had present.

Over holiday break I will not be sending any messages via phone or email unless there is something urgent that needs to be sent out. However, there may be some things posted on Facebook. I hope everyone has a blessed and safe holiday break and I look forward to seeing everyone in 2022!

Well that’s all for tonight from the home of THE Premier Academic, Extra-Curricular, and Athletic Experience! Passion, Purpose, Pride; Paisley IB!

Good evening Paisley IB Families, this is Dr. Mann with just a few midweek updates.

It was so great seeing all of the students that participated in Wacky Tacky Week! Some students really went all out for this event, as well as some staff. We are going back and counting up the numbers to see which grade level had the highest participation. Results will be announced next week.

Remember that there will be no school tomorrow or Friday. Tomorrow, November 11th, we are out to observe Veterans Day and Friday, November 12th, the district has designated it as a Day of Kindness. So, I would like to say as a veteran myself, thank you to all who have served our great country! Also, we are asking our students to show kindness to others while they are out on Friday. We spoke about this during morning announcements that one of the ways that students can show kindness and caring (this months Learner Profile Trait) is to write a thank you note to our custodian, Mr. Soria, that works tirelessly to keep our school clean or to a teacher, counselor, secretary, or administrator that has helped them during this school year and bring that into them on Monday.

Congratulations to Zoey G., Sharmar H., and Clar H. for being chosen for All County Dance.

Congratulations to the girls and boys volleyball teams for their win over Hanes MS yesterday. The girls are now 3-0 and the boys are 2-1.

Well that’s all for tonight from the home of THE Premier Academic, Extra-Curricular, and Athletic Experience! Passion, Purpose, Pride; Paisley IB!

Good evening Paisley IB Families, this is Dr. Mann with your weekly updates for the week of November 8, 2021. I hope everyone enjoyed getting an extra hour of sleep last night as we fell back one hour for daylight savings.

This week is a short three-day week. Thursday we will be out of school for Veterans Day Holiday and Friday we will be out of school as the district has designated it as a Day of Kindness.

Yesterday the district held its annual School Showcase and it was great seeing so many of you, current and future families, stop by our table yesterday. I would also like to say thank you to the students that were there helping out as well.

This week we will be Wacky Tacky Week. Each grade level will have a day designated to dress up. Monday, November 8th will be for 8th, 9th, and 10th grades; Tuesday, November 9th will be for 7th grade; and Wednesday, November 10th will be for 6th grade. Wacky Tacky day is the day you try to dress as wacky or tacky as you can! Shoes, shirt, pants, socks, makeup, hair...etc. ( all must be within the dress code guidelines). We will also be having a friendly competition between grade levels looking for the most participation, as well as, each grade level will have a winner for the most wacky/tacky student. I am looking forward to seeing some great Paisley Panthers spirit next week.

Well that’s all for tonight from the home of THE Premier Academic, Extra-Curricular, and Athletic Experience! Passion, Purpose, Pride; Paisley IB!
