Known for her visible presence in the school (and occasionally in a fun school video or dance moment), Mrs. Dotts strives to make school a place where joy and learning coexist. She believes leadership means modeling gratitude, resilience, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and do the work alongside others.

Mrs. Dotts values strong partnerships with families and the broader community. She believes that when schools and families work together, students thrive — academically, socially, and emotionally.

Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, Darlene and Drazen. You can also find her reading a book in her spare time. 

Mrs. Dotts is honored to serve the students and families of Vandyke and looks forward to continuing to build a school culture where we are truly “All In” — together.
