Before you lock your classroom door and head into summer, there are 4 things I always do to make September easier. Not because I want to work all summer. Not because I believe teachers should spend their break thinking about school. But because a few intentional tasks in June can eliminate a lot of stress in August. In this video, I'm sharing my end-of-year teacher checklist and the simple systems I use to support my future teacher self, including: ✅ Completing my end-of-year classroom shutdown checklist ✅ Creating and printing my Meet the Teacher package ✅ Building a back-to-school checklist for August ✅ Planning the framework for my first week back These small steps help reduce decision fatigue, ease September overwhelm, and allow me to actually enjoy my summer knowing the important things are already done.
