This is a prime opportunity to get your mission across to your community. Recruit parents and community volunteers. Consider new and exciting ways to involve your community at school. Create that wish list and then prepare a family survey to find out how parents might want to support the school in the new year. Don't forget to follow up.
Nothing feels worse than volunteering and never being called to volunteer.
Consider the bulletin boards and blank walls. Walk your building at the end of the school year. If high standards and expectations are important, think about how to express that message to the community. Summer is a great time to relax and think. I hope this has provided some valuable food for thought.
