C - Creatively try to think how you could help out.
A - Ask for help from friends, teachers and other adults.
R - Relate and join. Ask the victim or the bully to join in your game.

RESTROOM USE
Teachers in grades K-6 will teach and encourage students to use the restroom during recess; students in grades K-1 will be permitted to use the restroom during instructional time when necessary. Beginning in second grade the teacher may, at his or her discretion, limit restroom use to recess time only. In grades 3-6 students are expected to use the restroom during recess and will not be allowed to leave the classroom to use the restroom during instructional time unless there are extenuating circumstances. Teachers will also provide opportunities for restroom breaks during natural transitions with the school day (i.e. in route to the library, cafeteria, etc.) The staff at Markham Elementary School seeks the help of parents in reminding their children to use the restroom before school and believes that students can limit their bathroom use during recess, and as a result significantly reduce the number of interruptions to their instruction and their classmates'.
This policy will not apply to any student that has a medical condition which necessitates frequent restroom visits.
