MR. SHANE BOOM!
I am excited to join your dedicated staff at Shapiro. I have degrees in Psychology, business and art from UW Oshkosh. This will be my first year as a cross categorical teaching aide for the OASD and I’m honored to help your children do and be their best each day.
In my free time I enjoy adventures with my son Parker and wife Kim. I also enjoy growing giant pumpkins, running long distance, woodworking and attending ostrich races.

Reading Volunteers Needed
Hello school family! Shapiro Stem Academy is looking for volunteers to come and read to and with our K-5 students! If you or someone you know would be interested please have them fill out the following Background check form and contact the school office. Whatever time you are willing to donate would be greatly appreciated. Our schedules are flexible. We are excited for this wonderful opportunity for our students to grow in their reading!
Volunteer Information
If you are looking to participate in any volunteer activities at our school (field trip chaperone, events, field day, etc.) you MUST have a background check submitted. This needs to be completed yearly. Once your form is approved, you will be set for the entire school year. The process is simple: 1) submit your background check by following THIS PROCESS 2) If an opportunity is available that you would like to volunteer at, just let your student's teacher know that you have submitted a form. From there, the office will be notified and the approval process will begin. Once your background check has been approved, your student's teacher will let you know!
Warmer Weather Warning!!!
Warmer temperatures are coming and going and coming!
Please monitor the temperatures daily and be aware that some days we may not need a coat, but cooler temperatures are still here as well and we will need more outside gear on those days. The rules are as follows:
Under 50 degrees: Bring all outer gear.
50-60 degrees: Long sleeves required.
Over 60: Short sleeves is okay outside.
Keep in mind the field gets muddy and boots are sometimes required still to play out on the grass.
