Welcome to Shoemaker Elementary School – Home of the Sharks!
At Shoemaker Elementary, we are proud to be an inclusive school community where every student, staff member, and caregiver is valued. We believe that all members of our community contribute to creating a supportive environment where respect, equity, and belonging are at the center of how we think and act.
Our theme for the 2025–2026 school year is “New Beginnings”. This year marks a fresh chapter - an opportunity to reflect, reset, and grow together. Whether you are returning to Shoemaker or joining us for the first time, we welcome you into a community that believes in second chances, fresh starts, and the potential within every learner. As we embrace new staff, new ideas, and new opportunities, we are committed to building strong relationships and creating a school culture that is rooted in optimism, resilience, and forward momentum.
We are excited to partner with families and caregivers to support each child’s academic, social, and emotional growth. At Shoemaker, we believe in the power of new beginnings - and we know that together, we can make this year our strongest yet.
