Athletic Programs

Extra-Curricular

Girls’ athletics has enjoyed successful seasons in volleyball, basketball and track throughout the years. It is a program rich in the tradition of building champions. Girls are pushed to not only become better athletes but develop a strong character as well. Any parent is welcome to support girls’ athletics by attending games and cheering the teams on to victory. For further information on volunteering, please contact the Doerre PTO.

Boys athletics at Doerre has played a major roll in developing young men and good citizens in the community. Programs in football, basketball, track, cross country, swimming, and tennis have had much success and have led Doerre to many championships. We encourage both students and parents to become involved in our athletics programs through attendance at events and volunteering. We look forward to another wonderful year.

English Language Arts (ELA)ELA instruction at the intermediate school expands and develops reading and writing skills that are introduced in elementary school. Writing and reading are the core units of study in all three grade levels. Students are taught to write for various audiences, purposes, and modes; grammar skills; and practice techniques in spelling, word usage, punctuation, capitalization, and handwriting. In reading, students apply learned reading skills in both fiction and nonfiction reading selections. The study of literature also increases in intermediate school.

MathAt the intermediate level, students build a foundation of understandings in number, operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; measurement; and probability and statistics.

ScienceAt the intermediate level students learn science skills and learn to identify components of the solar system including the sun, planets, moon, and asteroids; systems of the human body; and relationship between force and motion.

Social StudiesIn grades K-12, students build a foundation in history, geography, economics, government, citizenship, culture, science, technology, and social studies skills. The content, as appropriate for the grade level or course, enables students to understand the importance of patriotism, function in a free enterprise society, and appreciate the basic democratic values of our state and nation.
