A Message from Mr. Dotson
It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the principal of Valley View Elementary. My name is Jason Dotson and I have served as the principal at Valley View for the past 11 years. Prior to becoming principal, I worked as a middle school teacher for 10 years in Campbell County. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Lincoln Memorial University as well as a Master's in Educational Leadership from Union College, Ky. My wife Breiann, and our four boys; Bryson, Hunter, Channing, and Beckett are my world. I am blessed to have the opportunity to wake up every day and create a positive impact on young children. I wish to serve as an example to my students, staff, and community that we should all strive to make a positive impact on children. Valley View Elementary school offers children the chance to grow and become successful not only as students but as leaders in our community.
Sincerely,
Jason Dotson

A Message from Mrs. April
Hello, Bobcat Families! My name is April Paul and I am the Assistant Principal here at Valley View Elementary. I grew up in Pineville, Kentucky, but in 2009, I moved to Campbell County with my husband, Dusty. This community quickly stole my heart, and I am honored to serve the students and families of Valley View. I am an alumnus of The University of the Cumberlands where I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, a Master's Degree in Reading & Writing and an ED.S in Instructional Leadership and Administration. The 2021-2022 school year will mark my 15th year teaching. I began my teaching career at East End Elementary in Middlesboro, Kentucky teaching 5th Grade Writing. In 2010, I was hired on at Valley View Elementary. Over the last 11 years at VVES, I have had the privilege of being a classroom teacher, reading interventionist and instructional coach. Being an educator is my hearts work, and I take great pride in our school. Each day, it is my goal for our students to know that I believe in them, respect them, and value them. I want every child to feel loved and safe while receiving the absolute best educational experiences possible. I am and will always be committed to working closely with Mr. Dotson, our amazing teachers and staff, parents, and community members to ensure our Mighty Bobcats achieve their full potential!
