Dear Parents,

Welcome! My name is Brad Bludau, and I will be your child’s teacher for the 2018-19 school year. I am joined by two dedicated paraprofessionals, Terri Ellis and Elizabeth Rush. We are very excited about having the opportunity to teach and learn from your child. 

Just a little information about myself—I was born and raised here in Victoria, and graduated from Texas A&M University-Kingsville.  I began teaching in 2004 and have been a proud Shields Shark since 2005.  I have been married to my wife Jackie for 13 years, and have a 12 year old son named Patrick. 

I am eager to work with your child this year.  Throughout my 14 years as a special education teacher I’ve had the privilege of being around so many amazing and unique children (my own child included).  It is my personal belief that ALL children can learn and succeed, no matter what challenges they may face. 

If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at Shields (361) 788-9593, or you may call or text me any time before 7 pm. My number is (361) 571-8767.  Thank you, and let’s make this year Jawsome!!

Sincerely,

Brad Bludau, Life Skills Teacher
