Mitchell Elementary's Stick Policy

Students are asked to follow all school and classroom rules. Each student starts with three sticks each day: green, yellow, and red. If a child isn't following the rules, he or she may lose a stick or sticks. Losing a green stick is a warning for your child. If the yellow stick is lost, your child will lose recesses for that day. If a red stick is lost he/she will visit the principal and the parents/guardians will be called. Some behaviors can result in an automatic strike (all three sticks): lying to an adult, cheating, foul language, throwing rocks/snowballs, physical contact with another person, etc... We will do our best to let you know (in writing or phone call) if your child has lost two or more sticks.
