Clear the Slate

• Turn in any missing work that can still earn credit.

• Return textbooks and library books, if borrowed.

• Clean out your locker (and/or the folders in your digital locker or portal).

Get Organized

• Go through your backpack (don’t let that PB&J grow legs)!

  • When you start recycling your papers, remember to keep a copy of notes that might help you in the future, and papers you’re particularly proud of!

• Heck, tidy up your entire bedroom for a true fresh start.

Say Thanks

• Reflect on which teachers and mentors helped you grow this year. 

• Say thanks to them with a quick note, an email, or an in-person chat.

• Update mentors you haven’t talked to in a while with your successes from the year, or summer plans.

Keep in Touch

• Trade phone numbers, social media, or emails if you want to stay in touch. 

• Wish someone you don’t know well a good summer (and mean it).

• Sign yearbooks, if you have the chance!
