Creating Exemplary Students

The students of Doty Middle School are expected to demonstrate good citizenship and character, and become conscientious and moral people in their community, contributing to a better world.

As a way to promote these ideals, we encourage volunteering and fundraising for charitable causes throughout the year.

Doty students have had the opportunity to participate in:

Jog-a-thons support causes like Southern California fire victims, Beating Hearts Foundation, and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles
Visits to City Hall, Downey Police Department,
Downey City Library
Bible Club singing Christmas carols at a local retirement home
American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life
ARC Walk for Independence
Canned Food Drive
Toy Drive
Red Cross Donations for tsunami and flood relief

Where Everybody Belongs (WEB)

Since 2014, WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) has existed to embrace the social-emotional needs of our new students as they begin their Doty Middle School experience.

Our WEB program trains approximately 100 8th graders to mentor small groups of 6th graders throughout the year. WEB pairs 6th graders with 8th-grade mentors, and the organization is an integral part of the 6th-grade orientation. Additionally, our WEB Leaders build and facilitate lasting connections among students through activities like small group challenges and large after-school mixers.

Some of the activities that are offered are the following:

Welcome to Doty Dance
WEBsgiving
Wacky WEB Wednesdays
Fall Festival Party
Winter WEBerland Party
WEB Carnival Party
Character Counts! lessons taught by WEB Leaders in 6th-grade classes
