Principal's Message

Dear Doig Families, 

As we make preparations to open our campus and classrooms for the 2024-2025 school year we hope that you and your family have found the time to relax and enjoy the summer. As the principal of Doig Intermediate,  I’m very excited to continue the work we began last year with our students. It has been a year of growth in many areas which has resulted in our students excelling academically and in developing their interpersonal skills. 

We cannot wait to see our students and families on the first day of school Monday, August 12th. Please keep in mind a few upcoming important items to complete before starting the school year.

• Please complete the online data confirmation using your Aeries Parent Portal. 
  • If you need assistance in completing the data confirmation form on Aeries, our office will be happy to assist you starting this Monday, July 29th at 9:00 a.m. or feel free to contact the school office at 714-663-6241 if you have any questions. 

• Student Class Schedules will be available on Friday, August 9th at 4:00 p.m. on Aeries Portal. 

Our main goal at Doig Intermediate School is to provide all students with an excellent educational program. Together, we will be able to provide all students with a positive educational experience in a safe learning environment. We encourage your involvement in your child’s education and your feedback on how to make our school a better place. 

We have a variety of opportunities for families to get involved, which include ELAC, SSC, or our Parent Workshops. A flier will be sent to parents in the coming weeks. 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve our community. Please do not hesitate in reaching out to us if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.  

Sincerely,

Juan Alvarez 

Principal

Doig Intermediate

Our School

Greetings Spartans and community!

Doig is a National AVID Demonstration School and Schoolwide Site of Distinction. Here on campus, we make sure to establish a positive school climate for our 600 scholars in attendance.

Our Family Council is centered around the AVID program, consisting of a parent group that comes together to help with fundraising, assemblies, and events. Participants make it their goal to hold quality events as a means to enhance students' educational experiences. Our program's partnership with AVID also encourages scholars to join the road to college for future success. Parents can get involved through monthly meetings and other invites. We look forward to expanding our family group and coordinating wonderful events!

Doig's after school programs offer new enriching opportunities for students. Here are our programs when we return in-person instruction :

• Spartan Hour addresses the academic needs of all students, creating intervention plans before, during and after school. Our highly trained educators make accommodations for the sake of scholarly success by reviewing class content.
• The Robotics Club covers concepts such as coding, technological programming and Minecraft! Participants become responsible digitally literate citizens as they work with hands-on equipment. Doig's 1:1 student to computer ratio as a part of daily instruction enhances student engagement and concentration when working with innovative technology. The club teaches internet use and self-initiation, ensuring success for the digital age we live in. 
• Our Running Club increases the number of student athletes as members commit to exercise plans. The club encourages fitness and a healthy diet, placing an importance on overall well-being. 
• Doig's Dance Program guarantees the ability to express oneself through interpretive movement. Students in the program perform choreographed routines in groups and individually. This program teaches communicative and collaborative skills as students work in a team to execute artistic performances.
• ASB channels school spirit while instilling leadership skills in participating scholars. ASB members help with events and academic matters on campus. Students volunteer to help the community and partake in extracurricular activities, exerting a sense of community involvement. 
• Boys & Girls Club develops students' social and athletic skills as they collaborate in fun activities year round. The program is offered for grades second through sixth, providing exciting opportunities every day until 6 P.M. Students become involved in extracurricular activities after school alongside a highly trained, trusting staff member. Our staff members also emphasize academic responsibility as they provide an hour of homework assistance.
• The Doig Action Committee raises civic education and engagement for important worldly issues. Students in the committee become globally aware of social issues and exercise their political efficacy to make a community-wide change. We are proud to announce that our students are aware of worldly injustices and current events.

Doig was awarded the AVID National Demonstration Award out of all intermediate schools in the Garden Grove Unified School District. We are also a PBIS School, currently bronze and moving up to silver with our students' chronic effort and achievement! Our teachers and staff highly value all forms of success and accolades students with awards such as Honor Roll, the Principal's Award, and Most Improved Award.
