Wolf Pack News

As the Principal of Robert M. Shoemaker High School, I am filled with excitement and anticipation as we prepare to welcome our students back for the 2024-2025 school year. Our custodial staff has been diligently shining the floors, our cafeteria team is gearing up with delicious meals, and our dedicated teachers are busily prepping their classrooms to ensure a smooth start.

We are in the final stages of our preparations and can't wait to open our doors to the new academic year. It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all our guardians and students to the Grey Wolf family.

This year promises to be filled with enriching experiences, new friendships, and countless opportunities for growth. The pride of Shoemaker is undoubtedly our students, and I assure you that our staff is ready and eager to have them back in the classrooms on Wednesday, August 14, 2024.

Here's to a fantastic year ahead! 🐾

Go Grey Wolves!

If you have any questions, please contact the front office at (254) 336-0900.

Welcome back from summer! We are very excited to see you in just a few short days. Please remember:

• Submit your student's shot records this week to avoid delays on the first day of school.
• If you've moved over the summer or are new to KISD, please make sure you turn in your proof of residency. These forms can be dropped off to our registrars or uploaded at time of registration.

• On the first day of school all students will go to their first period class to pick up their schedules. We will have posters in the building directing you to your first period class.

See below for a link to our district calendar, which details holidays and breaks, as well as our bell schedule.

We have two new amazing counselors on campus this year! Their alpha ranges are below, so you know who to ask for in the counseling office.

Please reach out if you have questions or concerns to your students counselor.

Mrs. Kyle: A-Clax Chernitra.Kyle@killeenisd.org

Ms. Hall: Clay- Gra Alexandria.Hall@killeenisd.org

Ms. Jones: Gre – Liz Nicolya.Jones@killeenisd.org

Mrs. Hicks: LL-Par bernadette.hicks@killeenisd.org

Ms. Faulhaber: Pas- Smith, F Tijuana.Faulhaber@killeenisd.org

Mrs. Hodge-Cummings: Smith, G – Z Merium.Hodgecummings@killeenisd.org

If you start the school year and notice an error in your schedule (Example: You're a freshman with Algebra I on your schedule but you took and passed Algebra I in 8th grade), please go to the counselor's office to put in a schedule change request. If you have a "hole" in your schedule (Example: You don't have a 4th period), go to the counselor's office during the period you are not enrolled in the class (Example: 4th period).

IMPORTANT: Schedule change requests are to fix errors, not changing your mind about what class you want to take. You should have verified your course requests in May. Per communication sent out in April, the campus master schedule and teacher hiring decisions were made based upon student course requests; therefore, beginning of the year schedule changes will only be considered to correct an error in a student's schedule.

The KISD Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC) is seeking parents volunteers to serve on this council for the 2024-2025 school year. If you are interested in volunteering, please follow this link:
