Welcome to Carmel Elementary! My name is Joyce Bates. I am originally from Florida, but I've lived in the middle TN area for almost 24 years. I earned my bachelor's degree at Austin Peay State University and my master's degree at Nova Southeastern University. This is my 22nd year teaching, all of which has been done in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade, as well as being an academic coach. I look forward to an exciting year of learning and having your child in my classroom! My goal is to help them learn and grow as an individual to their fullest potential. We are going to have a great year at Carmel Elementary!
