Doerre 25-26 Meet the Teacher Flyer

With a glowing 2025-2026 school year just around the corner, we want to ensure that all of our families are prepared before school starts.

RETURNING STUDENTS: For our returning students and families, welcome back! We cannot wait to see you back on campus! Please make sure to complete the Annual Enrollment Update. This is required for all current students in Klein ISD to ensure each student has a schedule and teachers assigned prior to the first day of school.

Arrival: Starting at 8:35, doors will be open to students.

• 6th Grade Arrival- On the first day of school, 6th grade students will go to the far end of the main gym to pick up their schedule. 6th grade students will wait in the bleachers of the main gym until their first period teacher meets them and walks them to class.

• 7th grade Arrival- Students will go to the new gym to pick up their schedule and remain there until dismissed.

• 8th grade Arrival- Students will go to the the main gym nearest the cafeteria entrance to pick up their schedules and then return to the cafeteria. They will remain in the cafeteria until dismissed.

*Note- Schedules will be color coded for each grade level. Even if students picked up students during Doerreintation, they must still pick up a new schedule. While there should not be many, this ensures that students receive an accurate schedule should there have been any last minute changes.

6th Grade- Green

7th Grade- Blue

8th Grade- Yellow

Dismissal: Starting at 4:13 students will have a staggered release by their specific type of transportation. 6th graders are released first at 4:13, and 7th and 8th graders are released later at 4:15. Walkers and bike riders will exit campus at their designated points. Car riders must exit and wait outside of the front entrance for their ride. Bus riders will exit and load as their bus groups arrive at the bus ramp exit near the Doerre cafeteria.

Teachers will review dismissal procedures at the beginning of 7th period and assist any students that may not know their bus number. Please visit the Transportation Website for more bus information.

As we get started on the first day, if a student has a question about their schedule, please have them complete the schedule change request form located in Schoology (coming soon). All students should remain in their scheduled class. Their counselor will call the student down to resolve any issues.

Please note that we are unable to accommodate schedule changes based on requests for specific teachers or to be in the same class or lunch as friends. We are proud of our amazing team of teachers, and this is a great opportunity for students to meet new people and make new connections. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your student's alpha counselor.

Schedule Update- Data services shared an updated timeline for schedules in Skyward. Schedules should be available for students to view in Skyward beginning August 13th at 5AM.

Thank You, Doerre Families!

We had a fantastic Chromebook distribution last week, with over 900 devices given out successfully! A huge thank you to all the families who came to pick up their Chromebooks and to our amazing team for working hard to make the process smooth and stress-free.

Starting Thursday, August 14th, we will begin distributing Chromebooks to any student who has paid the Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) fee but was unable to pick up earlier. Students will be called down to the IT center throughout the day to receive their device—no action needed from families! Students should follow their normal schedule until they are called.

Thank you for helping us get every Warrior tech-ready for a great start to the year!

Students will receive their 2025-2026 IDs when they pick up their Chromebook or on the first day of school in their first period class.

Students are expected to have their IDs on a lanyard, around their neck, and visible at all times.
IDs may be taken off during physical activity but required to be put back around neck.
Students who do not have their ID will be required to acquire a temporary ID. A $1 fee will be added to the student's school cash account.

Students who lose their ID may request a new one. The student will be provided with a new ID, lanyard, and sleeve. A $5 fee will be added to their school cash account.

Here are this year's standard lanyard colors:

6th Grade- Yellow

7th Grade- Black

8th Grade- Red

*Note lanyard color travels with the student, so returning students will be able to use last year's lanyards, but a new one will also be provided to each student.

For the first week of school, 3rd period teachers with 6th grade students will bring students down early to lunch. 6th graders will sit in a section with their 3rd period class for the first week of school. 4th period teachers will pick 6th grade students up at the end of lunch. Students will have staggered dismissal. Lunch will take place during 4th period for all grade levels.

During 4th period, 7th and 8th grade students will be dismissed to lunch at the appropriate bell. Please see the graphic below for which classes will eat A, B, and C lunch.

If you need to bring your child lunch, please know what lunch period they have and deliver it to the front office with their first and last name on it.

Please do NOT Door Dash, Grub Hub, Uber Eats, etc. food to the school for your child.

New State Law for Personal Communication Devices

As we prepare for the start of the school year, we want to make sure our families are informed regarding a new state law, House Bill 1481, that was recently passed by the Texas Legislature. 

Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, this new state law prohibits students from using personal communication devices during the instructional day while on school grounds. This includes cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, earbuds, and any other device capable of digital or telecommunication.

What This Means for Our Students

Students may bring personal communication devices to school, but they must be turned off, out of sight, and stored away in their backpack, pocket, laptop sleeve, or other personal belongings while on school grounds from the first bell to the end of the instructional day, including during class, passing periods, lunch, and recess. 

The law requires disciplinary consequences for the use of personal communication devices during the instructional day while on school grounds. Exceptions are provided for students covered under a Section 504 plan or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that includes personal communication devices as an accommodation. Access will be permitted as outlined in their individual plans. 

Prior to the first day of school, we encourage you to discuss this new Texas law with your children and emphasize the importance of focusing on learning throughout the school day. Students will review the cell phone policy during code of conduct presentations in the first days of school. Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to ensure a positive, safe, and focused learning environment for all students!

At Doerre Intermediate, we dress for success! As we get ready for the upcoming tax-free weekend, please see THIS LETTER regarding expectations for the 25-26 school year at Doerre Intermediate.

Please find this year’s Doerre school supply list HERE. Please note that this is a basic supply list, you may need additional items depending upon individual teachers and elective classes. Those teachers will inform students of specific needs during the first week of school.

The state of Texas for enrollment in 7th Grade requires the following updated vaccinations: Tdap, Meningococcal. Please provide updated vaccination records to the Doerre Clinic prior to the first day of school.

If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Rogers in the clinic at srogers1@kleinisd.net or 832-249-5678.
