Principal

Dear Dodd Families,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m Lindsay Perkins, and I’m honored to serve as the principal of Dodd Elementary School—home of the Bulldogs. At Dodd, learning is about more than academics; it’s about growing curious minds and kind hearts.
Our classrooms are places where learning is hands-on, joyful, and meaningful. We strive to spark curiosity, build confidence, and nurture creativity in every child. With strong family partnerships, we work together to ensure all students are Bulldog Ready and prepared for lifelong success.
We proudly live out our Dodd Core Values each day:
- All are WELCOMED
- We ensure Dodd is a SAFE place for all—physically and emotionally
- Everyone is UNDERSTOOD, regardless of language, culture, or background
- All students are CAPABLE of achieving their goals
- Every child is IMPORTANT and valued through our words and actions
At Dodd, we’re more than a school—we’re a family. I look forward to working together to help your child thrive.
In Allentown, we get better together—and your voice matters.
Warmly,
Lindsay Perkins
Principal, Dodd Elementary School
