Doerre Intermediate Families,

Happy Three Day Weekend! We hope that all of our families have had a restful and enjoyable holiday with your loved ones. While we only have four days next week, it will be a busy and exciting time here at Doerre!

We are thrilled to kick off our football and volleyball seasons this week, and we look forward to seeing our teams achieve victory against Schindewolf Intermediate. We hope everyone will join us in supporting our students as they participate in these exciting extracurricular activities. The schedules for our games and matches can be found in the information below.

Please also mark your calendars for our Open House on Wednesday, September 4, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. This will be a meet-and-greet-style event, so parents can come and go as needed. You do not need to stay for the entire time, but we encourage you to stop by and connect with your child’s teachers.

In addition to our exciting events, we want to remind families that our 8th graders will have their Social Studies Beginning of Year assessment on Tuesday, September 3, and Math MAP testing will take place for all grade levels on Wednesday, September 4. Testing room schedules will be posted for students in their grade-level Schoology courses, and more information is also included in the information below.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic week ahead and hope to see you at our events. Thank you for your continued support of our Doerre Warriors!

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!! Below you will see an example of what the Warrior Wave certificate looks like.
