Dear Doerre Families,

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend with your loved ones! I want to take a moment to say thank you for your support in helping us kick off the school year on such a positive note. The energy on campus has been incredible — so many smiles in the hallways, and it’s a true reminder of what makes Doerre such a special place.

We also want to thank you for supporting the rollout of our PRIDE expectations last week. We are so proud of how our students and staff have embraced this shift and worked together to make it a success.

We are excited to continue building on this positive start and can’t wait for all the great things ahead this year!

Thank you for being such an important part of our Doerre community.

With gratitude,
Annie Welday-Zimney

"Warrior Waves"

Warrior Wave

A Warrior Wave is a positive student referral. The student, a parent/guardian, Mrs. WZ, and the student's AP will receive an email notification of the award. There will also be monthly recognition and certificates for all students who earn a #WarriorWave. Each week, we will use the #WarriorWave nominations to choose a Warrior of the Week for each grade level. We are excited about this new way to celebrate our many students who exemplify our #DoerrePRIDE Core Values every day and set the Warrior Way Standard of Excellence at Doerre Intermediate. Parents, if you receive a Warrior Wave in your email- its a celebration!!

Schedule Changes and Class Leveling

At this time, counselors are making as few schedule changes as possible and only for extenuating circumstances. If you have any questions about a specific schedule change, please reach out to your child's counselor.

Please note that moving forward, all requested schedule changes will require collaboration between the teacher/parent through a parent conference. Administrators and counselors are available to help support any conferences or conversations about class concerns.

Doerre Tutorial Schedule/Process 25-26

Tutorial Schedule

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!
