Is there a way that the class of 2023 when they go into highschool and get new computers is there anyway that they could possibly keep the chromebooks they had before and have all the school stuff and sonicwall deleted and given to them as a personal computer for them to own and keep
A. Sorry, those devices will still be used by the district in other locations. On the bright side, you will have a nice new device in September.
Has Shen considered purchasing Tesla buses?
A. Shen transportation is always evaluating the various fuel/electric powered school buses and will continue to do so. Currently Tesla does not offer school buses. There are other electric powered school buses but their cost is too prohibitive at this point. We will continue to monitor the market forces and make decisions accordingly.
I understand filling a big bus in the morning with 15-35 students but how does the district justify wasting the fuel on sending a large bus for 1 special ed child? Doesn’t seem efficient
A. There many ways of distinguishing efficiency. We run more than 600 routes daily. Sometimes it is more efficient for us to use a bus that is already out on the road instead of sending another bus especially in the this day and age of extreme school bus driver shortage.
when shen desktops and chromebooks get old does shen auction them off? if so where?
A. No, computers and Chromebooks are not auctioned at the end of their usable life. In most cases devices are returned to BOCES where they are wiped of all data and then made available to other schools or in most cases are recycled.
How would a junior go about contacting IMS? There’s a slight issue that i want to discuss.
A. All of the district phone numbers are posted on the website: https://www.shenet.org/contact-us/
Are you allowed to learn a language outside of Shen and still get credit for it?
A. Each situation is unique. At a minimum, the language study must be completed at an accredited institution (such as a local college). The course syllabus should be submitted to the Academic Administrator for review in advance, and proof of successful completion would need to be submitted at the end of the course. Credit cannot […]
Where is the Middle School Auditorium located — where the middle school parent information meetings will be held this week?
A. The middle school auditorium is located in Gowana.
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.
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 […]
I’m a junior and I’ll be attending summer school, can I drive myself there?
A. If you have a license and a car.
Does the HSE library have old copies of yearbooks? If they do, how far back do they go?
A. 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.
