Kelly Allen

I have been a self contained ESE Teacher In Lee County School District since 2010. Currently an SF teacher at Gateway Elementary and 2 years at Pinewoods Elementary. I am also state certified as a Registered Behavioral Tech. I was nominated as Golden Apple Teacher in 2022. I have participated in Summer Camp, ESY, and Tutoring across the district. The only reason I am leaving my school is due to relocating.
