Thank you for visiting the Innovation Middle School website. We are very proud of what has been achieved our inaugural school year, especially the earning of an A school grade by the Florida Department of Education! This is a great accomplishment for a brand new school and we couldn't have done it without the support of our amazing Lake Nona community.
I am excited to continue to lead a dedicated and expert leadership team and staff focused on student achievement. The Innovation community is extremely supportive and we invite all of our community and families to be an active part of our school.
This site has been designed to provide you with important information about our school. We hope that our website will continue to keep you involved by providing the necessary information about academics, performances, upcoming events, athletics, and all the other happenings at Innovation Middle School.
There are less than 3 weeks until we continue state testing with FSA Reading on May 1st and 2nd. It is important that every student is present every day as teachers continue preparation and review. A complete testing schedule can be found on our school’s website, https://innovationms.ocps.net/news/2019_student_testing_calendar.
