Welcome!

My name is Emily Bravenec, and this will be my 11th year of teaching. I have previously taught 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade. This will be my second year as a special education teacher at Shields Elementary. I will be mainly teaching math resource classes, while my cohort, Mrs. Vanderburg, will be taking the lead on reading and writing resource classes.

I live in Midlothian with my son, Logan. I enjoy organizing, helping others, and spending time with my family. My faith is very important to me, and I strive to honor God in everything I do.

I am looking forward to a great school year, and cannot wait to meet my students and get to know our families better. I believe that a strong relationship between school and home is essential for our students' success. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Together we can make the 2022-2023 school year the best one yet!
