Week 2
Doerre Intermediate Families,
Thank you for making our first week back to school so wonderful! It was exciting to see the bright eyes and smiles of our students as they returned to the halls of Doerre, met their teachers, made new friends, and explored the exciting updates to our building. We also want to give a special shout out to our PTO and parent volunteers who helped us have a successful start at both Doerreintation and the first day of school schedule hand out last week. You are appreciated!
Our students did an excellent job last week, making us proud and exemplifying the Warrior Way Standard of Excellence. We are confident that week two will be even better!
As we get ready for week two, please don't hesitate to reach out to our admin team if you have questions, concerns, or celebrations. We are here for our Warrior family!
Let's make it a great week!

General School Information
Schedule Changes and Class Leveling
As we gear up for week two, if a student has a question about their schedule, please have them complete the schedule change request form that is located in Schoology. All students should remain in their scheduled class. Their counselor will call the student down to resolve any issues.
Please note, that while we try to make as few schedule changes as possible after the first day of school, counselors are still trying to level classes to accommodate our enrollment numbers and give our students and teachers the benefit of the smallest class sizes possible. As we move into week two, a few schedules could change as counselors work through this process. Counselors will try to keep students with the same teachers as much as possible. If you have any questions about a specific schedule change, please reach out to your child's counselor.
Student ID Information
Students should have received their school issued IDs on the first day of school in class.
Students are expected to have their IDs on a lanyard, around their neck, and visible at all times.
IDs may be taken off during physical activity but required to be put back around neck.
