Ms.Ortiz believes every child is capable of success, and has been teaching at
Dodson for 11 years. She is a graduate of Pomona Catholic High School and
Scripps College (Claremont, CA). She also received her MA in English at
CSUDH. Let her know if you want to read her thesis: "The Empire and the
Garden: Exile and Education in Three Caribbean Texts." When not
watching 'Ninja Warrior,' Ms.Ortiz spends her summers volunteering as a camp
director for YMCA Camp Oakes. If you are familiar with Y Camp and the Rag
Program, you may be interested to know Ms.Ortiz is a purple ragger. She
loves to travel, and went to Europe in the summer of 2005, and Jamaica in
June 2008. Her message to the world is best summed up through a once seen
license plate frame reading, "Don't mess with me...I teach middle
school."
Every student will have the opportunity to work in an environment that is
engaging and challenging. Students will develop key skills through the
analysis of literature and the study of English language conventions.
