You could say, in a school environment
"Est-ce que je peux aller à la salle de bain?"
There may be more elaborate ways of saying the same thing, but usage depends on the context.

I doubt that you will use "la salle de bains" unless you are looking for a tub, etc.?
Sra (aka Mme)
usual word for washroom = le lavabo OR le cabinet de toilette

Thank you for pointing that out. The use of "salle de bains" is a canadianism that rooted from another, "washroom".
What do you think of "aller aux toilettes", which according to Le Robert, is a euphemism?

More generally I use 'le WC' in France, but again depends on where I am.
