Dear Doerre Families,

I hope you and your family had a wonderful three-day weekend. This week will go by quickly, as we have only four days with students.

There are no major updates to share—things are business as usual as we prepare for Spring Open House on January 27 and our 5th grade campus visits on January 28. It has been great to see so much positive learning and engagement happening in classrooms, and we appreciate your continued support.

We are also excited to congratulate our 2025–2026 Employees of the Year! We are so proud to recognize these outstanding staff members and are incredibly thankful for all they do each day to support our students, families, and campus community. Check out photos below for all of those who were honored last week. 

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. We look forward to a great week ahead.

Warm regards,

Annie Welday-Zimney
Principal, Doerre Intermediate

Course Selection Upcoming Events

Course Selection Season is Here!

The journey toward the 2026-2027 school year begins now! We are excited to help our students plan their academic paths and explore the many opportunities available.

Each grade level will meet with their school counselors for a specialized presentation. During these sessions, students will:

Explore the various course offerings for the upcoming year.

Learn about graduation requirements and elective pathways.

Receive their official Course Selection Sheet at the conclusion of the meeting.

Parents are invited to attend Doerre’s Spring Open House to view the presentation and stay informed about the selection process.

If you have any questions regarding specific classes, prerequisites, or the scheduling process, please reach out to your School Counselor for more information.

26-27 Course Selection Overview

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!

HERE are detailed instructions for both drop off and pick up for car riders at Doerre Intermediate. Please note, no car riders should be dropped off or picked up from the Doerre Bus lot. This area is for busses only.

Thank you for your support as we strive to make Doerre as safe as possible for our students, parents, faculty and staff. If you have any questions or concerns about morning drop off or afternoon pickup, please reach out to your child’s administrator.
