I would like to know the criteria for the NHS. Is it 90% GPA for each year or 90% combined? My child doesn’t have 90% for the first year, the rest two years is above 90.

A. Please see the webpage http://shennhs.webs.com/. If your question is not answered there, contact the advisor (contact info available on the page).

Where can I find the Middle School Club descriptions. I know where the club listings are located on shenet.org but the descriptions for each club don’t seem to be available any longer.

Why is there a fee for seniors to park in the Shen parking lot when we already pay taxes that provide for all upkeep of that parking lot.

This is in response to the person who wrote: “Why is the Shen pool at Gowana not open to the public during the summer. Taxpayer money is going into it’s upkeep while it sits unused for almost three months during the summer.” The pool does NOT sit unused for almost 3 months, a swim team pays to use it during the school year and the summer, and girls varsity starts in August

A. Thanks for the feedback.
