ACE

.

Bathrooms• Students have a 20 minute recess break at 10.00 AM and a

45 minute lunch break at 11:40.

• To maximize instruction time, we prefer that students use the restroom and get a drink during the recess and lunch breaks. We ask students to develop a routine of using the restroom and getting drinks during these breaks.

• However, emergencies happen, and students may ask to use the restroom during instruction if an emergency arises.
