A Note from the Counselors: |
In Klein ISD we have a shared vision that each student enters with a PROMISE and exits with a PURPOSE. In alignment with that vision, the counselors at Doerre Intermediate want to ensure that our students fulfill that purpose and are exposed to high-quality leadership and learning on a daily basis.
The Doerre counseling staff is committed to advocating for our students and collaborating with teachers, parents, and the community in order for students to reach their highest possible academic, social, and career success. We are looking forward to a fantastic school year!

Exciting News for Math!
This year, students in 6th–8th grade math are using a new instructional resource, Envision+ by Savvas! This new resource is designed to support engaging, meaningful math learning and help students build a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. (Algebra and Geometry classes will continue using their current resources.)
We have created a presentation for parents with more information about Envision+, including helpful links to the parent portals and instructions for accessing them. Click THIS LINK to learn more and explore the resources available to support your child’s math learning!

MAP Testing Begins this Week! |
Over the next few weeks students will be taking their BOY (beginning-of-year) tests.
Here is the schedule: -Thursday, August 27- Social Studies BOY MAP Test -Tuesday, September 1- ELA BOY MAP Test -Thursday, September 3- Science/Biology BOY MAP Test -Tuesday, September 8- Math MAP Test
As part of the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) initiative, Klein ISD is expanding the number of eligible courses to include more than 150 courses across multiple grade levels and subject areas, including English, math, science, physical education, Fine Arts, and CTE courses.
Teachers of these courses will administer a beginning-of-year assessment to identify each student’s baseline, or starting point, in the applicable subject area. These assessments are not taken for a grade and will not negatively affect a student’s course average. This baseline data provides teachers with valuable insight, helping inform instruction and identify areas where students may need additional support throughout the year. An end-of-year assessment will also be administered to measure student growth in the assessed content.
Most assessments are designed to be completed within one class period to protect instructional time. Students with IEPs or Section 504 plans who require Text-to-Speech or calculator access will have these tools available during the assessment. Because some beginning-of-year assessments are not a state assessment, certain state-assessment-specific accommodations will not be available. Other applicable accommodations documented in a student’s IEP or Section 504 plan will be considered based on the purpose and design of the assessment.
If you have specific questions about the TIA assessment or your student’s accommodations, please contact Christian Mullins, our campus testing coordinator, at cmullins1@kleinisd.net |

Important Attendance Information 26-27 |
|

Dear Doerre Intermediate Families,
We are so excited to welcome our students back for a new school year! Our teachers and staff are ready to start the year strong, and we enjoy seeing your child at school each day focused on learning, growing, and staying connected. Every Day Matters
Being at school each day helps students stay on track with their learning, building relationships, and feeling connected to their teachers and classmates. Even missing just a day or two every few weeks can quickly add up and cause students to fall behind in their learning, making it harder to keep up with grade-level expectations. We know there are times when students need to be absent, but whenever possible, we want them here with us!
Attendance also matters beyond the classroom, as well. In Texas, school funding is largely based on daily student attendance. When students are in school each day, it helps protect valuable resources like teachers, programs, and many opportunities our students experience every day. Strong attendance helps us continue providing the experiences that make Doerre and Klein ISD such an excellent place to learn. How You Can Help At Doerre, attendance is taken at 10:45 AM during 2nd period. When possible, please schedule appointments after attendance is taken or outside of the school day. You can also monitor your child’s attendance through the Skyward Family/Student Access portal.
Most importantly, we care about our kids, we believe in them, and we want them at school. Thank you for partnering with us to make every day count and give every student the full opportunity to enter with a promise and exit with a purpose! For attendance information and resources, visit www.kleinisd.net/attendancecounts.
Sincerely,
Annie Welday-Zimney |

Lunches & Lunch Deliveries |
School Cafe: Klein ISD uses SchoolCafe for all support with meals and food services at school. Sign in or create an account to make payments, set purchase restrictions, submit meal applications and more! Click the link to get started! SchoolCafe
Lunch Deliveries: Parents are also welcome to drop off lunch for their own child only. All lunch deliveries should be brought to the front office, where you will be asked to write your child's name on the lunch item. Our staff will deliver lunches to the cafeteria for each lunch period.
While we make every effort to ensure every lunch reaches the cafeteria, it is the student's responsibility to pick up their lunch from the stage during their assigned lunch period. Please be sure to communicate with your child in advance if you plan to bring them lunch so they know to check for it.
For student safety, and in accordance with the Klein ISD Student Handbook, students are not permitted to share food with one another. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe environment for all students. Additionally, Door Dash/Uber Eats cannot be sent to the front office for students. All deliveries must be brought by a parent.
Please see this year's lunch schedule below to determine your child's assigned lunch period. |

|
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. Here is the schedule change request form for students/families: https://forms.gle/GWCSALKLo8LT214a9 |

2026-2027 Dress Code Expectations
|
Doerre Families,
As we have settled into the first few days of school, we have noticed that a few students have arrived out of dress code. We know that the beginning of the school year comes with lots of new routines and adjustments, so we wanted to provide a friendly reminder about our student dress code expectations.
Beginning Monday, students who are not adhering to the student dress code will be given the opportunity to correct the issue, when possible. If the issue cannot be corrected at school, the student will be asked to change into appropriate attire.
Thank you for partnering with us to help our students start each day ready to learn, confident, and successful! We appreciate your support and understanding as we work together to maintain a positive learning environment for all of our Warriors. |
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 26-27 school year at Doerre Intermediate.
