Greetings Doerre Family!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! The Doerre Faculty and Staff was officially able to move back into the building this past week! We have been busy preparing for August 14th and getting the halls, walls, and rooms of Doerre ready for students. Check out some photos below for a "sneak peek" of the newly renovated campus. There are lots of smiles as we get our furniture moved back and things put back in place. This year, Doerre Intermediate will also be celebrating 40 years of excellence! Our students and teachers continue to set the Warrior Way Standard of Excellence that Doerre Intermediate has been known for over the past 40 years, and we know that this school year is going to be even bigger, brighter, and better than ever!

As the first day of the school year draws near, we know that keeping up with all of the important dates can be challenging! To help with this challenge, we have listed everything in one place below so that our Doerre families have a one-stop shop for all things beginning of the year. This bulleted list contains all the important dates coming up for the beginning of the year.

• Please complete ASAP! - Annual Student Updates (applies to ALL students)
• Please complete ASAP! - ADP payment is due by August 13 @ 5:00 pm in order for your student's Chromebook to be distributed on time.
• August 12th- Doerreintation from 5:30pm-7:00pm (see more information below)

As we gear up for the first weeks of school, our Arrow will look a little different to ensure that everyone in our community knows what to expect and what needs to be completed for the start of the school year. Please see the breakdown of what each section below entails.

• Items Due Now - Items that all families need to look at and possibly complete as soon as possible.
• General School Information - This section below contains general information and reminders that would be good to review and talk to your student about now and routinely throughout the school year. Expect more information to be added to this portion of the newsletter in the August 11th edition of The Arrow.

We are excited to see you soon, and we look forward to all of our students meeting their teachers and classmates in just a few short weeks. Together, we will make this a great year!

Doerre Intermediate Principal,

-Annie Welday-Zimney

We are excited to welcome some new faces to our administrative team this school year!

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 2024-2025 school year!
