A. Diesel buses are very efficient and run just as clean if not cleaner than LPG, Gasoline and CNG. Diesel powered buses are more efficient than other type of alternative fueled buses. We will stick to diesel for the foreseeable future to see how the electric powered buses and other alternative fuels mature and become financially viable to purchase. As a side note, electric buses must of course be plugged in for recharge. The side effect of recharging creates a higher need for more electricity which means more CO2 being produced by electrical generating companies. So, that best thing we can do for the foreseeable future is to wait on technology to mature.

Does Shen have a plan to make the buses more efficient for the Earth? I mean come on each bus when on full takes 100 gallons of diesels and take 10 quarts of oil..that adds up.
May 10th, 2019 by kelly.defecianiI’m a junior and I’ll be attending summer school, can I drive myself there?

Does the HSE library have old copies of yearbooks? If they do, how far back do they go?
May 10th, 2019 by kelly.defecianiA. Yes we have a complete set going all the way back to 1954. Just ask at the circulation desk for the year you are looking for and you can look at in the library.
How does one get a new student ID at west?
May 10th, 2019 by kelly.defecianiA. If a student loses their school ID, they can request a new one from the main office. Please note that it takes some time for replacement IDs to be made.
What is Shen going to do with the hundreds of Chromebooks that current eight graders have when they move to high school since they’re all getting new ones?
May 3rd, 2019 by kelly.defecianiA. Many will be used as loaners in the Chromebook Care Centers and the High School Student Helpdesk. Others will be used to replace devices in other buildings that may be damaged beyond repair.
This is in regards to your response about the dress code. You said, “Keep in mind that boy’s…have to wear shirts to cover their body as well.” The boys on the track/cross country team routinely run wearing only shorts and shoes. The girls are expressly forbidden from wearing only shorts, shoes, and a sports bra. Is seeing the midsection of a girl different than seeing the midsection of a boy? We teach our kids that the same rules apply to all, when their actual experience shows otherwise.
May 3rd, 2019 by kelly.defecianiA. Athletes on the boys cross country/track team are expected to be wearing shirts when representing themselves as members of the team.

How does a parent or child sign up for summer school? Is there busing for these students or is it up to the parent to bring them and pick them up?
May 3rd, 2019 by kelly.defecianiA. Parents come into the building to register their students. School counselors are in contact with parents/students that are in need of summer school. We do have busing that picks up at various bus stops around the district.
how come juniors can’t park in the second parking lot at west? it never gets filled throughout the day so why does it matter so much?
May 3rd, 2019 by kelly.defecianiA. Because those are the rules.
Here’s an idea: How about instead of teaching girls to cover up their bodies because it might distract boys, teach boys to be decent human beings and control themselves. If someone in the school can’t handle seeing a bra strap or a belly button without freaking out, that is their own fault. Dress codes teach underage girls that their bodies are inherently sexual, and that rather than wearing what is comfortable for them (especially when it’s hot outside), they should cover up so as not to disrupt the learning process of some out of control teenage boys. I am sixteen years old. The sexualization of my body isn’t my fault. It’s the fault of whoever failed to teach these people to be respectful and decent to women. Just a thought as we head into the summer season.
April 18th, 2019 by kelly.defecianiA. Keep in mind that boy’s undergarments are not allowed r to show and they have to wear shirts to cover their body as well. Boys would also not be allowed to wear really short shorts either.
