About Us
Welcome to Shoemaker Elementary, Home of the Eagles!
You're invited to explore to get a glimpse of the great teaching and learning that is taking place at Shoemaker. We are a proud school with great students, parents and staff who work hard day in and day out to stay true to the Grand Island Public Schools motto of “Every Student, Every Day, a Success!”
Our school is comprised of approximately 400 students from kindergarten to fifth grade. Our staff strives to maintain a positive learning environment that fosters high expectations for student learning, respect for one another and developing students to their highest potential both academically and socially. We are also very lucky to have an active PTO that assists and supports our entire school in a variety of ways throughout the year.
Through these activities, our PTO and school work together to create a school community that is accepting of one another, welcoming to all and creating relationships that go beyond the classroom. If you have any questions please feel free to email or give us a call.
Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our school!
