DIS Newsletter

Dear Parents, Guardians, & Friends -

We would like to welcome you and your child to Doniphan Intermediate School!!! We are so excited to have you at our school year!

As the parent of two boys, I recognize the importance of a strong home-school connection. Parents are every child’s first teacher and I believe that by working together, we can make sure your child’s social, emotional, and academic needs are met.

All of us at DIS are eager and excited to begin what promises to be the best year ever. As your Principal, I want everyone who steps through our doors-teachers, students and parents-to be excited to be here! My hope is that your child will LOVE coming to school and DIS will be a positive, safe, and caring place where we can learn and grow together. This attitude will enable us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment.

Our vision is to always put kids first, and my door is always open for my students, families, and teachers. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year.

Mrs. Willcut

Drop-off:

Students will only be allowed to be dropped off in front of the DIS building between 7:30-8:00 a.m. NO STUDENTS will be allowed to be dropped off at the “teacher parking lot” or cafeteria.

If students are dropped off after 8:00, the front doors will be closed and they will have to ring the buzzer to be let in. We will sign them in at the office before they can go to class. We ask that parents do not walk their students inside.

Parent Pick-up:

The Parent pick-up line will begin at 3:15. Parents who have a child only in DIS are asked to line up in front of the DIS building on the right hand side. Parents who have a child in both DIS and DMS are asked to please line up on the left hand side.

Pick up will start at 3:25 p.m. Teachers are assigned to walk students to their vehicle. We ask that parents/guardians please remain inside your vehicle.
