The summer break is a crucial time for private schools to prepare for the upcoming academic year. Here are five things that private schools should do over the summer break to ensure a smooth start to the new school year:
Hire new staff and teachers
Private schools may have a high turnover rate, especially during the summer break. It is important for private schools to use this time to hire new staff and teachers to fill any vacancies. This includes conducting interviews, background checks, and onboarding new hires.
Plan for the new school year
The summer break is a great time for private schools to plan for the upcoming academic year. This includes setting the academic calendar, creating lesson plans, and ordering supplies and materials. Private schools should also consider any updates or changes they want to make to their curriculum or policies.
Clean and repair the school
Private schools should use the summer break to give their campus a thorough cleaning and make any necessary repairs. This includes repairing any damage to classrooms or buildings, painting, and deep cleaning all areas of the school.
Organize extracurricular activities
Private schools should use the summer break to organize extracurricular activities for the upcoming academic year. This includes sports teams, clubs, and other activities that students can participate in outside of the classroom.
Prepare for the return of students
The summer break is a good time for private schools to prepare for the return of students. This includes ordering textbooks, creating class schedules, and setting up classrooms. Private schools should also consider any changes they want to make to their student orientation or welcome-back events.
By taking care of these tasks over the summer break, private schools can ensure a smooth start to the new school year.
