3. School Policies
No I-pods or other electronic devices While we strongly encourage students to keep iPads and other electronic tablets at home, students who choose to bring them will use them under the guidance of school staff, and San Elijo is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. Cell phones are for use before and after school. If you have an emergency please contact the office.

4. School Policies
TARDIES Students must be in their assigned seats when the bell rings or they will be marked tardy. The 1st and 2nd tardies will result in a lockout, and will be recorded. Three or more offenses during a semester will result in detention assigned for each offense. After the fifth tardy, a Saturday School will be assigned. Excessive tardiness is referred to the Assistant Principals.

7. Citizenship policy and criteria
Citizenship is evaluated differently than academic progress. It involves a student’s actions in upholding the school’s responsibility and accountability standards, positive involvement in their learning and living communities, and attitude. Citizenship assesses student participation, leadership / cooperation, willingness to assist others and following school and classroom rules. These rules include but are not limited to just behavior, cell phone violations, excessive gum chewing issues, continually talking in class and/or dress code issues. Additional factors for consideration are \\sems-fs\Staff\hillarie.coleman\My Documents\back to school\Citizenship Grade Criteria.docx
