Doerre Tutorial Schedule/Process 25-26

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.

Help Our Warriors Write with Pride!

We are thrilled to announce the continuation of our "Write with PRIDE" initiative for the upcoming school year! This program, which began as a successful pilot last year, is designed to help all students practice writing across the curriculum during our weekly PRIDE advisory period. The month-long pilot demonstrated great results, and we are excited to expand the project to help our Warriors become the best writers they can be.
