Hey Shoe Crew! 💙🤍 Report cards for RP3 will be available in the Home Access Center (HAC) on Thursday, April 16, 2026. On the same day, we will also be hosting RP3 report card conferences. With just two months left in the school year, it is critically important for all families to meet with teachers and learn how to continue supporting student success through the very last day. Together, we can ensure your student finishes the school year strong and ready to advance!

Today our 11th graders took the next step toward their futures at the College Fair at Picket Campus 🎓
From 4-year universities to trade programs and career pathways, our students explored the many opportunities waiting for them after graduation.
We believe there’s no one-size-fits-all path—just multiple pathways to success. Whether it’s college, career, or certification, we’re preparing students for what comes next.
📣 Still enrolling! Join a school that prioritizes your future.

Happy Thursday Shoe Crew! 🤍💙🖤

We are excited to share that Mastery Shoemaker will be hosting our NFTE Fast Pitch Day on Friday, May 1, 2026.

This special event is a culminating experience for our sophomore students, who have been developing their own business ideas throughout the school year as part of the NFTE (Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship) program. On this day, students will take the stage to pitch their original business ideas, demonstrating their creativity, critical thinking, and public speaking skills.

With over 100 student pitches taking place throughout the day, students will present their ideas, respond to questions, and engage in a real-world entrepreneurial experience similar to professional pitch competitions.

💡 How Families Can Support

We encourage you to ask your student about their business idea and engage in conversation with them at home. Consider asking:
What problem does your business solve?
Who is your target customer?
What makes your idea unique?
How did you come up with your idea?
These conversations help build confidence and prepare students for their presentations.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work our students have put in and look forward to celebrating their growth and achievements. More details will be shared soon, including ways families can further support and engage with this exciting event.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Warm regards,
Jamyah Cox
