About Your Teacher

My name is Shelbey Burkett. My Husband, Travis, and I moved to Kansas City from Lubbock, Texas a year ago and I have loved being apart of the Blue Jay Family!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics with a minor in secondary education from Texas Tech University. I love spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and taking care of our dogs, Joli (pictured above) and Louie.

This will be my sixth year as a middle school Math teacher. I have previously taught 8th grade Math and Algebra I, but I have enjoyed the 7th grade world! Math is my passion, and though I don't expect every student to claim Math as their favorite subject, my goal is to create a safe, positive, and productive classroom environment that allows all learners to be successful.

DMS is a great place with great students, and I am looking forward to an amazing year.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that may arise throughout the year.
