Meet Dottie Devine, Mason Dixon's Outreach Facilitator
Hello! My name is Dottie DeVine and I am the Outreach Facilitator here at Mason Dixon Elementary! My role in the school is to be a support, advocate, and connection for families and the school to resources within the community. Ways that I can help not only for the student but also the family as a whole are –
- Connecting you to community resources including health and mental health services (appointments – medical or vision, etc.)
- Clothing/Food needs
- Housing and/or Utility assistance
- Transportation
- Additional support for any school meetings – IEP, SAT, 504’s.
If there is something not listed above that you think I can help with, feel free to contact me! I am at Mason Dixon 2-3 days a week. The days I am here are every other Monday, every Wednesday and Thursday. The best way to get in touch with me is through a phone call or even a text message will do! My number is 681-285-7840.
