Doerre Intermediate Families,

What an incredible week we had last week! Thank you all for making our Open House such a success—it was a joy to see so many of you there, and we were thrilled to showcase our amazing Band, Choir, and Orchestra performers. They gave us a sneak peek of the exceptional talent we have here at Doerre!

On top of that, we’re celebrating HUGE victories as our 7th and 8th grade A & B football and volleyball teams kicked off their seasons undefeated! We couldn't be more proud of the grit, teamwork, and Warrior Way of Excellence displayed by our students and their coaches. What an exciting start to the season!

Looking ahead, we’re wrapping up our BOY MAP testing this week with Math and Science assessments (more details below). Plus, we’re excited to host an anti-drug assembly for our 6th graders on Thursday, September 12, to continue reinforcing positive choices.

Let’s keep the momentum going—here’s to another fantastic week!

Doerre Intermediate Principal,

Parents- we need your help! At Doerre Intermediate, we dress for success! However, as we get more weeks into the school year, we are noticing more students out of dress code. Please take a moment to review THIS LETTER regarding expectations for the 24-25 school year at Doerre Intermediate.
