Hi. I am a student in HSW and an avid leggins-wearer. Leggings are comfortable and they can be worn with many other articles of clothing. We didn’t have to do this in eighth grade, but why do we have to wear shirts that come till mid-thigh in length just to wear leggings? Wearing a top that doesn’t come till mid-thigh doesn’t mean that this outfit is provocative but rather puts a deeper restraint on female students in the building. As a female student, I find this dress code policy very derogatory to girls. Please explain this rule. Wearing a shorter top will not and should not hinder someone else’s education.
A. The purpose of school is to learn. Restrictions on fashion are made at the building level based on whether or not someone’s choices are safe and appropriate and/or disrupt, distract or interfere with the educational process or participation in a school activity/function.
I already picked up my parking pass for this school year, but I will now be driving a different car to school with a different license plate. How do I get the pass changed?
A. Please let the class assistant principal’s office know and they will make the change.
How are homerooms determined in high school.
A. Homerooms are by grade and alphabetical.
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).
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.
A. Public education is a right. Driving to school is a privilege, not a right.
Have you considered livestream for the graduation? It would be nice for grandparents etc who cannot attend.
A. As with everything, it comes down to cost. However, it is explored each year.
