September 22-September 26

Dear Doerre Families,

Thank you for another wonderful week! We hope you enjoyed the extra day this weekend to recharge. We are excited to share that our first PRIDE Games of the year were a huge success. It was incredible to see our students and staff come together, showing school spirit and making it a memorable event. Be sure to check out some of the photos below for a glimpse of the fun from Thursday!

It’s hard to believe, but October is almost here, and we’re quickly approaching the end of the quarter. With just a few short weeks until our fall break, let’s continue to encourage and support our students as they finish the quarter strong.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support! Let’s make it another great week ahead!

With gratitude,
Annie Welday-Zimney
Principal, Doerre Intermediate

Doerre in Action: This Week’s Highlights!

Quarter One QSE Testing

Quarter One QSE Testing will take place from September 29 through October 10. Please note that our teams work together to prevent students from having too many QSE exams on one day. Please see your child's teacher Schoology course information for more details for each specific class: Here are the tentative testing dates for QSEs (subject to change by course). We will continue to update this calendar throughout the week and publish it again in next week's edition of The Arrow.

Traffic Change! Cross Country Meet- September 25

We want to make our community aware that we are hosting a cross country meet on September 25th (Thursday), from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. The part of Red Holly Lane (near the tennis court) will be closed to all cars during that time for all the runners' safety. There will be yellow tape or rope to mark this area during the race.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as this may affect any traffic flow around Doerre Intermediate. We hope you will join us at the meet to celebrate all of our runners!

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 for Quarter One that are read each day during first period.

"Warrior Waves"

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

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!
