Dear Doerre Families,

It’s hard to believe we’re already down to the last two weeks before Winter Break!

This week, QSEs testing begins across campus (see schedule below). Please help us support students by encouraging them to get a good night’s sleep, charge their devices, and arrive to school on time. Your partnership makes a big difference as we finish the semester strong.

We’re also excited to kick off our holiday dress-up days starting Monday. We invite all students to join in the fun and show their school spirit!

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s make it a great week!

With gratitude,
Annie Welday-Zimney
Principal, Doerre Intermediate

 Upcoming Dates-

December 19- Last day of Semester 1

December 29-January 6- Winter Break

We invite students to join us in celebrating the holidays with dress up days beginning December 8th! 

It’s time to spread some holiday cheer with Student Council’s Jingle Jams & Candy Grams!

You can send a sweet candy cane to a friend, teacher or staff member. If you're feeling a little extra-festive, you purchase a Jingle Jam (or singing telegram) to make your favorite teacher’s day and Student Council will serenade them and their class with a festive holiday song!

Candy Grams are just $1 each, and Jingle Jams are $10. You can purchase candy canes and singing telegrams through School Cash Online from December 1-12th. We will also be selling them in the cafeteria on December 4-9th during all lunches.

Don’t miss your chance to sweeten someone’s day or make the halls jingle with joy!

The end-of-semester exam schedule for QSE 2 and Midterm exams is now available. We do our best to ensure that no grade level has more than two exams in one day; however, due to the busy timing at the end of the semester, some overlap may occur. Please take a moment to review the schedule carefully, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

The Q2 Behavior Incentive will take place on Thursday, December 18, in the afternoon. Ms. Andrews, our Behavior Specialist, will be sharing details with students during Character Education this week. This will be a fun indoor/outdoor event, with students attending by grade level. You can find the alternate bell schedule linked HERE.  

During Periods 1-2-3 on Friday, December 19th, our band, choir, and orchestra students will be performing their holiday tour concert that they performed for the elementary schools for our own Doerre students. This in an annual tradition and will be a fun way to end the semester and celebrate the holiday season. Groups will be called to the gym by grade level to view the performance. 

Did your student hear something on the announcements and can’t remember all the details? HERE is a link to the daily announcements for Quarter One that are read each day during first period.

To ensure all students are safely supervised, we do not student allow entry unless their teacher is present. Between 8:00 and 8:25, students can enter the building for tutorials through the secondary front door (the entrance nearest the handicap parking spots). Students must present their student ID and sign in, indicating where they will attend. Students will only be permitted to attend tutorials for teachers who have marked themselves present.

Here is the tutorial schedule for the 25-26 school year: Doerre Tutorial Schedule. Once the teacher arrives, they will turn their name green on this sheet, and our tutorial door greeter will know to let those students in for tutorials.  Teacher AM Tutoring Check-In Sheet 

After 8:25, students will not be able to enter the building until the bell rings at 8:35, allowing our staff time to prepare for the school day and report to their morning duty stations.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

If your student is interested in joining, please have them fill out this interest form. Club sponsors will review submissions and reach out directly to students with more information about next steps: Clubs and Organizations Interest Form
