3/31/22 – Why do we keep using GoFan when they are charging our students service charges on everything? Prom tix are expensive enough and should not have a service charge attached. Students used to pay $1 to go to a football game and now tix have additional service charges. Either Shen should be absorbing this fee for our students or not use it for everything just because it’s confusing. Prom tix that are $85 each – $170 per couple should NOT have a service charge. – Parent

A. Administrators and advisors have been working with the business office. Online ticketing prevents handling upwards of $50,000 and the class does absorb some of the cost for Prom or else the tickets would be more. With the price of food, labor shortages, etc… they had to work really hard with caterers to create a […]

3/29/22 – I am curious as to why the library enforces a seating policy extremely arbitrarily which prevents many students from receiving valuable peer tutoring, this is NOT a good learning environment. – Student

A. Please speak with the librarian or an administrator if you have concerns.

3/29/22 – Is there an eSports team or gaming club in HSE or HSW? – Student

A. There has been some interest and Mr. Davidson in the HSE Library has been meeting with students. If you are interested, please see Mr. Davidson to get involved.

3/29/22 – I heard that there are “furries” at the school and litter boxes in the nurse’s office? I am assuming it is a rumor, but I was just curious. Thanks for your help. – Parent

A. This is not true.

3/29/22 – Hi, this is just a friendly request. In the high school when a student is cvl and there is a sub, it is typical for the.google meet not to be opened by the sub. I understand this and don’t raise an issue with it. However, some teachers don’t post a note on Google to let the CVL students know the teacher won’t be in and that there is no google meet. This leaves the conscientious student to keep trying to enter the meet for a long time in case a teacher is just late opening the meet, which happens sometimes too. My friendly request is this – can there be a better, reliable system in place so cvl students know there is a sub and therefore there is no google meet so a student doesn’t have to just keep trying to get into a class that isn’t even going to be opened? It’s really frustrating for a student. Thanks. – Parent

A. Teachers typically post in Google Classroom if they are out.
