We expect outstanding behavior from SES students at all times. You are the most important and effective ambassadors of our school. Listed below are expectations in different behavioral areas. Please refer to the SCUSD Standards of student Behavior for an in-depth description of behavior and related consequences.

Attendance
Arrive on time daily for your classes. We expect each student to be working in each class on time each day. You must get a pass from the office to enter your class if you are late.

Each class has a Consistent Daily Agenda – part of the agenda is a timed and graded opener. We expect each student to be in their seat completing their opener on time for each class.

Language
We expect each student to converse in academic language while in on campus and at all school activities. We know that high school, collegiate and professional achievement is directly related to engagement in daily academic language with peers and instructors. Academic language is the language of the subject – about the subject using the newly acquired vocabulary of the subject.

Foul language and swearing (cussing) is NEVER ALLOWED anywhere on campus or at any school activity. This includes PE, intramural sports, dances, field trips, and extra-curricular activities before and after school. Students will be confronted and receive consequences should they choose to cuss.

We ask that students use appropriate language while in the public as well – as they are representatives of the school.

Respect
We believe deeply that everyone deserves respect. Please make sure that you treat your teachers, fellow students, parent volunteers, school staff, guests, industry partners and our partner students at neighborhood schools with an extraordinary amount of respect. We believe you will find that the more respect you give the more you will receive.

School Property
Please keep the school very clean – every day – every class. Do not engage in:
• Graffiti
• Scratching surfaces
• Littering
• Damaging any school property

Take pride in our campus and be responsible for cleaning up after yourself.

DISCIPLINE GUIDELINES

The students at SES have many unique opportunities within the school year for field trips and fun activities. We value our safe and structured environment and hold high behavioral expectations for the students to follow. The criteria for selection and attendance for school activities will be determined by the activity Advisor and the Administration. The criteria will be based upon the type of activity. (For example: students visiting industrial partners and job sites must have an excellent behavior history).

Several intervention strategies are in place for managing behavioral issues. When an incident occurs, the Administration will decide which intervention strategy will be most helpful in that particular situation. (For example: detention, in-house suspension, suspension, community service work, etc.) Please see the SCUSD Standards of Behavior Handbook for more specific information regarding behavior standards.

We are experts at preparing students for success in scientific and engineering careers. Please make sure you work hard and complete all assignments beginning the first day of school so you stay on track throughout your high school adventure!
