Yuppers, girl here, and school teacher (but of the 4th grade).

I'm guessing you are a male teacher. If she is middle school, she might be insecure about these things and scared to have a problem. If it has been going on, like you said, for a number of days, can you go to the school nurse and talk to her and have her talk to the student and/or her mom. She might have some misunderstandings of stuff and she might feel uncomfortable using the ladies room in between classes when there are others in there. It's a hard call. Just remember to be kind/concerned and not make her feel uncomfortable.

We (us girls) all handle girl stuff differently. Some have heavy menses and some very light menses. Some have cramps and some don't. I'm wondering if she is doing this in other classes and what about phys ed?

You're in a tough spot and male to boot. Just go to the school nurse, or your next higher up. Ask for advice.
