A little on my background...

My name is Norma O. Garcia. I have been an educator for Sharyland ISD for 22 years.  I truly believe that one of the most rewarding fields on the planet is teaching!  I am truly blessed to be part of this organization, H. Shimotsu Elementary, working with such an amazing team whose goal is to help students succeed in life and be the best they can.  I have taught 4th grade, 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and now Pre-k. 

A little on my history before I became a teacher...

I earned a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree in Information Management Technology. I worked in that field creating webpages, databases, upgrading networks, training staff, and the public sector with a variety of different application software. I worked in this field  for a several  years.  I earned my second Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and Associate of Applied Science Degree in Network Information Management. I married, and have a wonderful daughter that is now an educator as well.  Every field has its rewards, however; teaching gives you an immediate reward every minute of everyday. 

Education has always played an important role in my life.  I instill in my students the power to learn by helping them build confidence and motivation in themselves. It is my goal and expectation to provide my students with a safe learning environment, positive learning experience, and a classroom full of learning opportunities.
 
Thank you for entrusting me with your most precious possession. 

Respectfully,

Norma Olivia Garcia
