Everyday Life

Uniforms and Casual Dress Days

SEES students wear uniforms most days.  There is an optional Fall/Spring uniform when the days are typically warmer.  The optional uniform can be worn from the 1st day of school to October 1st and then after May 1st.  These dates are sometimes modified, depending on the weather.

Occasionally, students will have "tag days" when they can wear casual clothes.  In exchange for $1, students can wear non-uniform clothes and the funds collected  are contributed to a class' outreach project or other worthwhile charity.  There are several "free" tag days throughout the school year.

Lunch & Recess

There are 3 lunch periods, each lasting about 20 minutes. Some students bring their lunches while others buy.  Lunches are ordered online in advance. There is also a little snackbar with ice cream, granola bars, and chips for sale. The highlight of the day for most students is outside recess after lunch. 

Weekly Flag Ceremony

Students gather every Wednesday morning for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem.

Merit & Demerit System

Demerits and merits are given in grades 4-8.  Demerits are given to students who have not followed rules, are disrespectful, fight with others, or cause destruction of property.

Merits are awarded for effort, achievement, and behavior that is extraordinary.

8th Grade Flag Duty

8th Grade Sweatshirts

One of the perks of being an 8th grader is the 8th grade sweatshirt.  The graduation year is on the sleeve and the names of all of the 8th grade students are printed on the back.  Students can wear these with their uniforms.
