From Our Principal
DIS Parents,
Another exciting school year is quickly approaching here in Westlake! I am excited to begin another year at Dover Intermediate School. This is my first year in the role of principal, although I have worked in the district for over ten years; the past two years have been spent in the role of assistant principal here at DIS.
While we are excited for students to arrive, please be aware
the school will be closed on Thursday, August 17th and Friday, August 18th. Those final two days will be filled with teacher meetings, and our custodial staff working hard to apply the finishing touches.
If you have any questions/concerns throughout the year please don't hesitate to contact me, assistant principal Mackenzie Hall, or one of our staff. We are committed to maximizing the growth of our students. I look forward to partnering together for a successful school year!
Respectfully,
Nicholas Miller
Principal, Dover Intermediate

From Our PTA President
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to Dover Intermediate School. My name is Diane Jordanger and I am your PTA President for the 2017-2018 school year. It's an honor to serve as your president and I will help you in anyway that I can with questions, concerns, suggestions and whatever else we may encounter this coming year.
5th/6th grades are a BIG DEAL! There are changes for students and parents alike.
I have twin girls heading into 6th grade at DIS in the fall and I would like to start by saying what an amazing experience 5th grade was for both the girls and myself.
Our PTA meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of every month, alternating mornings and evenings each month. The schedule (found on the DIS webpage under DISPTA) will allow everyone an opportunity to attend. You can be a member and NOT attend meetings (we appreciate ALL support)! However, we would love to have you join us on this journey. There are small ways to help all the way up to big ways. YOU CHOOSE! It's fun, we laugh, we cry and we share our stories along the way. We would love to have you participate in whatever capacity you can.
Please be sure that you are receiving the weekly blast and READ IT!! It is the MOST helpful tool you will have! It contains important dates and information that will help your student(s) and you have a successful school year.
NOTE: The students will bring home MUCH less paperwork and if you don't have a student who comes home and tells you everything...this is the place to go to be in the know!
I hope you enjoy and embrace these last hot days. It will be chilly before we know it!
Looking forward to the adventure in front of us.
Best,
Diane Jordanger
DIS PTA President 2017-18
