26. RMS Bathroom Policy
Students are encouraged to maximize their time throughout the school day here at RMS. Therefore, it is encouraged that students use the restroom at designated times (between classes or as teacher designates).
However, this is not always possible; therefore, students will have the opportunity to go to the restroom in class three times per semester. After the third restroom break, students will serve lunch detention as a result.
In order to ensure this policy is followed, students will initial next to their name on the teacher’s restroom log when they must go to the restroom during class.
This policy does not pertain to students that have a medical condition that would create a need to use the restroom more frequently.
