When can my child use the bathroom?

In an attempt to make the best use of school time, I strongly encourage
students to use the bathroom before school, during lunch, or after school.  Of
course, there will be time when students need to use the restroom during
class.  It is school policy that they may use the bathroom once in the morning
and once in the afternoon.  In addition, it is my policy that students need to
use the restroom during independent work time only.
