I recently turned 16 and received my new working papers today. I’m planning on getting 2 jobs ( one for the summer one year round) will I need to get 2 different working papers? Thank you!

A.  Students can get a duplicate card issued at the HSE or HSW Counseling College & Career Center.

How do you get a award for 8th grade graduation? Do you need a certain grade

A. Yes for the Presidential Award but teachers select the candidates for other awards.

What is Gang Green Nation?

A.  It is our student fan base.

What are the grade ranges for the high achievement and achievement lists for middle school?

What font is used for the Shen logo (the cursive one mostly used for athletic stuff)?

How and when are MS students chosen for the MS Honor society?

A. Please see the clubs webpage for information: https://www.shenet.org/MS-extra-curricular-clubs/

The Shen School District recently granted permission to the Clifton Park Baseball League to use the logo and name “Plainsmen”. That baseball league is now advertising they are a “feeder” program for the school baseball team. Isn’t the school district putting themselves at risk by allowing a private organization to appear to be affiliated with the school system? If there are incidents with coaches from this league in front of other teams from other areas, it will reflect on the school district negatively. In addition, this gives the appearance to the kids in the Round Lake Baseball League (200+ kids) and the Halfmoon Baseball League (400 + kids), all of which reside in the Shen school system that the school will only allow kids on their school baseball team if they came thru the Clifton Park Baseball League.

A. The Shenendehowa School District did not recently grant permission for the use of our logo to any organization. The use of any of our logos requires approval from the Board of Education. 

What’s the grade to get a award for graduation

A. Special recognition is given to students with a cumulative weighted GPA of 95%.

Are there any policies towards locker decorating?

A. At the middle schools, it varies slightly for each school.  Students should stop by their Main Office for specific guidelines.  At the high school, students are allowed to decorate the insides of lockers, provided that no permanent ink is used.
