Doerre Intermediate Families,

Thank you for another fantastic week at Doerre Intermediate! We're thrilled to see our students embodying the Warrior Way standard of Excellence in both our classrooms and hallways. Their dedication and enthusiasm for learning are inspiring, and it's clear that this school year is off to an incredible start. We can't wait to see all the achievements our students and teachers will accomplish together!

In the updates below, you'll find the Doerre Tutorial schedule, along with a list of clubs and organizations and their meeting times. We’ll continue to update these documents and keep you informed as more information becomes available in the coming weeks. Additionally, please note that this Thursday, August 29th, is picture day! Students can pick up order forms in the front office or online at the link below.

We’re also excited to invite all families to our Open House on September 4 from 5:30-7:00 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with our amazing teachers and get a glimpse into your child's learning environment. Feel free to come and go during the 5:30-7:00 PM window, and don’t forget to swing by Chick-Fil-A before or after Open House to support the Doerre PTO! More details about the event will be shared in next week's edition of The Arrow.
