Yes, when indicating possession for multiple people, you add an apostrophe after the "s" at the end of the plural noun. For example, "the teachers' lounge" refers to a lounge belonging to multiple teachers. If the noun is irregular and does not end in "s," you would add an apostrophe followed by "s," as in "the children's toys."

Too many people simply add an apostrophe at the end of a word before the letter S, when they really intend to show the plural case, not the possessive case.
