Let’s face it, school restrooms are often a challenge. Students may not always be diligent when it comes to keeping their bathrooms clean and tidy. As principal, you have the important job of making sure your student body understands how to keep restrooms in tip-top condition so that everyone can enjoy their time in the bathroom without any unpleasant surprises. Here are some tips on how to reclaim your school restroom!

Establishing Cleanliness Standards

The first step in reclaiming your school restroom is setting clear expectations for cleanliness standards. Make sure the students know what is expected of them when it comes to keeping the restroom clean. Develop a policy outlining exactly what should be done—such as wiping down counters after use and refilling soap and paper towel dispensers as needed—and post it prominently in each restroom. You can also make sure that custodial staff is regularly inspecting the restrooms to ensure they stay up to standards.

Keeping Supplies Stocked

Another important part of ensuring your restrooms stay clean is making sure there are plenty of supplies available for students to use. Make sure that each bathroom has a good supply of soap, paper towels, air freshener, and other necessary items, so that students don’t have an excuse not to keep things clean. An easy way to do this is by having custodial staff check supplies twice a day—once at the beginning of the day and once at the end—to make sure they are adequately stocked.

Educating Students on Bathroom Etiquette

Finally, teaching students proper bathroom etiquette is key if you want your restrooms to remain presentable and free from germs or odors. Show them how proper handwashing should be done, explain why flushing toilets is necessary after every use, and emphasize how important it is for everyone to take responsibility for their own messes so that others don’t have to deal with them. If possible, try to involve parents in this process as well; they can help reinforce these lessons at home and encourage positive restroom habits from early on!

 Reclaiming your school restroom doesn’t have to be an uphill battle! With some clear expectations for cleanliness standards, adequate supplies available for all users, and education on proper bathroom etiquette, you can create a pleasant experience for everyone who uses your facilities. As principal, you have a responsibility not only for maintaining health standards but also to create an environment where all students feel comfortable using the restroom without fear or embarrassment. So get out there and reclaim those bathrooms!
