My name is Michelle Nevarez and I will be your child's teacher for the 2020-2021 school year.  I have been teaching in Marion County for 31 years. I have taught exceptional student education at all 3 levels (elementary, middle and high school).  This is my first year at Vanguard High School.  I team teach the self contained intellectual disability unit with Tania Travieso.  I have certifications in Specific Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Elementary Education and Middle School.  I also have my reading, ESOL and Autism endorsements.  You can reach me by phone at 671-4900 extension 59529 from 7:30 - 3:15. Due to limited time in the day to answer phone calls, e-mail is the easiest way to contact me.  My e-mail address is michelle.nevarez@marion.k12.fl.us.  I check e-mails frequently at school and usually once a night at home.  Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or input on how to help your child learn better in my classroom.
