Welcome to the Hive!

Derrie Young & Dee Adams have joined the hive this past December. Ms. Young supports our lunch and recess block and Ms. Adams is our new school clerk. We are thrilled to have them at Shoesmith.

Mr. Konja Scott has transitioned effective 1/9/23. We thank him for his service to the Shoesmith Community.

Attendance and Early Dismissals

January 2023...On time and ready for learning! The school day starts at 8:45 am and ends at 3:45 pm. All staff members are working with individual or groups of students throughout the entire school day, which limits our capacity to handle tardies and non-emergency early dismissals.

Cold, Flu, COVID Season

We tend to have an increase of sick students after a long weekend or long breaks. We will continue to encourage masking and if students present COVID like symptoms, they will be sent to the care room until a caregiver can pick them up. All students were given a self-test kit on 12/21/22. If you need additional test kits or would like to sign-up for weekly testing, please call the main office.
