Recently, students, parents, and staff had the opportunity to help develop a school mission and a motto.  Our revised mission is "The mission of Douglas Intermediate School is to provide a nurturing, safe environment with high expectations so that our students become life-long learners and strive to be responsible, respectful, productive citizens.  Our new motto is "The more we R.O.A.R., the more we'll soar."  R.O.A.R. represents the four DIS behavioral attributes that we encourage consistently in all areas of the school; R. = Respect, O. = Organization, A. = Academics, R. = Responsibility.
