Dear Doerre Families,

Thank you for your continued support and for another great week at Doerre! It’s hard to believe that May is already here. This time of year always seems to fly by, and we are so proud of the hard work our students and staff have shown—especially as they wrap up STAAR testing this week.

While testing season is coming to a close, our work is not done yet. We encourage all students to stay focused, continue giving their best effort, and finish the fourth quarter strong. Every day still matters, and we are excited to see all that our students will accomplish in these final weeks.

Thank you again for your partnership and for being such an important part of our Doerre community!

Warm regards,

Annie Welday-Zimney
Principal, Doerre Intermediate

REPEAT INFO FROM 4/17 Arrow

Expectations Update- Q4 Behavior

This is repeat information from last week's Arrow. We are sharing again to ensure that it has been seen by all of our Doerre families.

As we move further into the fourth quarter, we’ve begun to notice an increase in some off-task and unsafe behaviors, including excessive running, shouting, and horseplay in the hallways, as well as larger messes and food throwing in the cafeteria. We are also seeing an increase in students removing their IDs as the day progresses.

Beginning Monday, we will be implementing a campus-wide reset to reinforce our expectations. We ask that you take a moment this weekend to review these expectations with your student. These guidelines are in place not only to maintain a positive school environment, but also to ensure the safety of all students and staff.

Given that we are in the final quarter of the school year and these expectations are shared daily on the morning announcements, students who do not meet expectations will receive immediate consequences. In most cases, this will include a lunch detention (an assigned lunch location away from friends), unless the behavior is more significant and requires additional intervention.

At the same time, we want to recognize and celebrate the overwhelming majority of our students who consistently meet expectations. Approximately 95% of our students are doing the right thing, all day, every day, and we are incredibly thankful for their commitment to making our campus a positive place.

To celebrate these students, we will be implementing a Fun Friday incentive each Friday during the month of May, tied to positive behavior. More information about this will be shared in next week’s Arrow.

We greatly appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these expectations at home. Should your student demonstrate repeated behaviors that need to be addressed, we will be sure to communicate with you directly.

We are confident that, working together, we can maintain a safe, structured, and positive environment as we finish the year strong. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to one of our assistant principals, Ms. Andrews, our behavior specialist, or Ms. WZ directly.

Thank you for your continued support.

 
 

Chic-Fil-A Fundraiser/Fun Friday 5/15

*Food will be sold by pre-order only 

 
 

Staffing Update! A-F Alpha Assistant Principal

On Monday, March 23, Mr. Brendon Bell transitioned to Wunderlich Intermediate to serve as the Dean of Students! While we are incredibly sad to see him go, we are grateful for his time and contributions to our campus. 

Beginning April 20th, another Klein ISD retired Administrator, Mr. Steven Ilten, silten@kleinisd.net, will be joining Doerre for the next four weeks as the A-F Assistant Principal. 

 

Congratulations Klein Cain!

On Tuesday, May 6, we are excited to celebrate Klein Cain's 2nd Boy's State Soccer Championship with a walking parade! Our students will line the halls to celebrate our fellow hurricanes, and we would love the halls to be filled with PURPLE! See below for the Soccer Team's celebration tour schedule.  

 

 

Algebra I STAAR

general info

Doerre Daily Announcements

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

Tutorial Schedule

Doerre Tutorial Process

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!
