Welcome back to an exciting year at Ocoee Middle School. I enjoyed meeting the students either Thursday at orientation or Monday in class. I am looking forward to a great year of teaching science. Please take a few minutes sometime this week to review the student handbook in the agenda. The agenda has proven to be a very effective tool of communication when students write in the assignments on a daily basis and the parents take time to review the agenda at some point in the week. If you have questions for me concerning the class or your child. please feel free to contact me at
