I have been teaching at Lake Dallas Middle School for twenty-two years!!!!

My class is very structured and organization is extremely important. This is an area on which I will work with students daily and weekly throughout the entire year.

I am usually here very, very early and stay late most days.

You may reach me by email at lshirey@ldisd.net or by calling the office at (940)497-4037 to leave a message for me to return your call. Please leave your name, your child's name, a number and a convenient time for me to return your call.

My daily conference period is from 9:30 - 10:00.

My team is also available from 3:15 tp 3:45. Appointments are required for all parent/teacher conferences.

I update my web-page by Monday morning each week unless the system is down. You may check this to become aware of homework, upcoming tests, quizzes, etc., and their due dates.

Infrequently, plans may change due to interuptions. This is rare, but no quiz or test will be given before the material is covered.

I am usually available at least once per day for tutorial. If I have meetings or appointments, they are announced as soon as I am aware of them. Most often they are also printed on the weekly agenda.

Tutorial is for reteaching, completeing makeup work, and help with organization. I do not drill and practice with students. Drill and practice is daily homework for my class.

My school duty schedule will be posted soon. I will not be available for tutorial when I have before or after school duty, meetings, or after school appointments.
