Ready for Summer? Close out These 3 Things to End the Year as a High School Counselor

High School Counseling Conversations®

Even though for some of you, summer might feel so far away, in reality, it’s just around the corner. I know I was always ready to leave and start relaxing, but there are certain things that need to get done before heading out the door. I want you to feel confident and know that you have everything wrapped up from the year and are ready to start a new school year when you return. So, in today’s episode, I’m sharing three major end-of-year items to help you close out your year.

There are a million things on your mind when it comes to wrapping up the year, but if you focus on student items, office items, and personal items, you will cover everything you need. With each of these end-of-year items, I provide you with a list and examples of ways to wrap things up. These items include credit recovery, transcripts, decluttering and getting rid of unnecessary paperwork, data, planning out your summer hours, certification hours, and more. I also share resources that would be helpful in closing out these three areas.

In order to truly close out the school year, it’s important to think through all the end-of-year items. I ask you to think about and reflect on the systems you have in place, how you’re keeping it all organized, and ways to communicate with students and parents. So, if you’re ready to close out for the summer, this episode is here to help you feel successful and organized!
