Lockers and Locker Combinations
The combination to your locker will be displayed on your schedule card, so it is important to guard the security of that combination. Your combination will consist of three numbers and you must follow these directions in order to open your lock:
- Turn right two or more whole turns and stop at the first number (of your combination).
- Then turn left one whole turn past your first number and stop at your second number.
- Turn right (directly) to your third number and open.
When you pick up your schedule it would be good to locate your locker and practice opening it.
Lockers are located in the following areas:
9th grade - West wing of the building on both the first and second floors
10th grade - Math hallway on the second floor
11th grade - Social studies hallway and in the hallway next to Hugh Downs auditorium
12th grade - Main hallway east of Hugh Downs auditorium

Payment of Fees
Please pay student fees and chromebook insurance by credit card through EZpay, which is our preferred method of payment. EZpay will be open for credit card payments as of Friday, August 13. Click here to access EZpay. Cash and checks are also still accepted. Make checks payable to SHAWNEE HIGH SCHOOL
1:1 Chromebook Procedures and Insurance
Please see the student handbook for the full description of the Chromebook procedures. Shawnee Students in grades 5-12 will be issued a district owned Chromebook, charger and case that will be taken home nightly to complete homework and work on school projects. Chromebooks will be distributed just like textbooks. The Chromebook remains the property of Shawnee Local School District, and the students borrow it for the school year. To receive the district owned Chromebook, parents and students must log onto Final Forms to sign the Student Handbook and Acceptable Use Policy and pay an Insurance cost of $30.00 that is non-refundable. Free/reduced fee waivers do not apply to the Chromebook insurance cost. These Chromebooks are to be used for educational purposes only, to enrich learning for the student.
PARENT/STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
I will be responsible for paying $30.00 Technology Insurance for every year that I am enrolled in the 1:1 program.
The $30.00 Technology Insurance will cover one accidental replacement to be provided for the first occurrence. The replacement may take up to two weeks to be provided. The second occurrence for any damage or loss will result in a $50.00 administrative fee (deductible). Any additional occurrences for any damage or loss will result in students/parents being billed for the total cost of the repairs.
CHROMEBOOK SUPPORT: Payment for Chromebook Repairs and Replacements
Replacement part costs vary by model and over time. The replacement cost of a Chromebook is $200. Payments for repair or replacement must be made in the form of cash or a personal check made out to Shawnee Local Schools and turned in to your child’s school office. Students and parents cannot bring in a replacement Chromebook in lieu of payment.

New Program: CONNECTIONS
We are excited to implement a new program for all students attending Shawnee High School: CONNECTIONS. This program will pair a cohort of students with a faculty member to meet weekly on Wednesdays for 25 minutes between period 4 and period 5A. Students will remain with the same cohort throughout their four years in high school. Research has shown that students who have a connection with peers and a trusting relationship with at least one adult are more likely to thrive in school. The goal of Connections is to develop positive relationships through activities that promote academic, career and social/emotional growth that will enrich the lives of students and promote inclusiveness and positivity within our Shawnee family.
