Welcome to Booker Middle School, home of the Tornados. What a great time to be a Tornado!! We have so many exciting initiatives and programs taking place in our learning community as we achieve excellence in our mission to empower students to succeed. We continue to be inspired by the passion and dedication we see in our students.

Here at Booker Middle School all students are encouraged to be critical and creative thinkers. As part of our commitment to empower all students for success, we have highly skilled staff who report to work every day prepared to inspire students to learn. Investigation, ingenuity, talents and interests are captured and cultivated in our Visual and Performing Arts Magnet Program. We have created a more navigable website with additional resources, better tools, and improved ways to communicate with all stakeholders. Please check our website for upcoming events!

Specifically, you have the right to ask for the following information:

• Whether the Florida Department of Education has decided that the teacher can teach in a classroom without being licensed or qualified under state regulations because of certain circumstances.

• The teacher’s college of major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, if so, the subjects and degrees.

• Whether any teachers’ aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications.
