Meet the Teacher

Hi! My name is Nicole Kesler. This is my first year teaching and I am so thankful to be a part of the Atoka Elementary family.  I am married to my husband Richard. We have three daughters, Skylar(28), Tori(27), and Micah(24), and one son, James(5). James will be starting Kindergarten this year. I worked as a patient service representative in a physician's office for twenty years before deciding to embark on a pathway to a new career as a teacher. I know that this year is going to be great and I am eager to get to know everyone. I believe in creating a comfortable and respectable classroom environment where all students can learn to their fullest potential and also have a great time while learning. We are going to have a fantastic year!
