Welcome to Donald T. Shields Elementary

Welcome to Donald T. Shields Elementary! We proudly serve students in grades Pre-Kindergarten to 5. Developing positive relationships while establishing and maintaining good communication with our families is an important part of our mission at DTS. Some of our marquee offerings include the Shields Steel Drum Band made possible by the Red Oak ISD Education Foundation and a tenured staff of educators who look for individual success in each student.
