Bathroom Etiquette

Parents, please speak with your children about proper bathroom use.  We are finding student bathrooms where underwear is left behind, feces is outside of the toilet and excess toilet paper is wasted and left on the ground or in the toilet.  Our custodians are working hard to keep up with all of the bathroom mess we are finding each day.  Please remind students to use the bathroom appropriately and to avoid playing or making a mess in the student bathrooms.  Thank you.
