Bathroom Procedures

Bathroom and hallway procedures are needed in every classroom, for otherwise many problems will arise. Often times, students simply want to go to the bathroom to get away from class. However, there are also times when students truly need to use the restroom. The best thing a teacher can do is make the bathroom policy very clear at the beginning of the year. The bathroom policy should include:
- Make it clear that students cannot abuse going to the bathroom, but that they are allowed to go if needed!
- Students must place bathroom pass (of his or her gender) on their seat before leaving the room so that the teacher can monitor who is gone.
- Allow only one boy and one girl to use the passes at a time
- Students should not interrupt class if they need to go, they may simply take the pass and leave.
- Make sure students know that going to the bathroom is a privilege during class. Explain how to walk silently to the bathroom and return as soon as they are done.
