If you’re like most parents, you’re probably anxious about the end of the school year. Granted, the end of the school year can be a joyous occasion for some students and parents, but for most of us, it’s just another marker on the calendar.

Here are eight ideas for ending the school year on a high note that will leave your students and staff excited for the summer.

Have a culminating event: Whether it’s a graduation ceremony, field trip, or final exam party, make sure there is something special at the end of the year. This will help your students and staff feel like they’ve completed something important, and it will be a nice reminder of all the progress they’ve made.
Hold summer graduation: This may be a bit ambitious, but if you can pull it off, it would be a memorable way to end the school year. You would need to coordinate with your school district to make this happen, but it would be a spectacular way to celebrate the accomplishments of your students.
Have a series of end-of-year concerts: This is a great way to give your students a final hurrah before summer vacation. You can hold several concerts over the course of the week or even have one big concert on the last day of school.
Hold a carnival: This is a fun way to end the school year and get your students out of the school building. You can have a carnival-themed field day or have a variety of carnival-type games and attractions.
Host a talent show: This is a great way to showcase the talent of your students. You can have a concert-length show.
Have a graduation picnic: This is a fun way to celebrate the accomplishments of your students. You can have a picnic outside or have a picnic inside the school.
Give out graduation gifts: This is a nice way to say goodbye to your students. You can have a graduation party where students can pick out their graduation gifts, or you can give out graduation gifts on the last day of school.
Have a final assembly: This is a great way to thank your students for all their hard work throughout the school year. You can have a graduation assembly where the students and staff share their favorite moments in the school year.
