The "Save-Your-Sanity" School Flyer Bundle: September thru May

Let’s be real for a second: It’s 7:00 PM on a Sunday. You’re finally sitting down with a glass of wine (or a very large coffee), and suddenly you remember—Open House is in three days. You realize you haven't posted to Instagram, the school Facebook page is silent, and the "Upcoming Events" section of your newsletter is looking a little... blank.

We’ve all been there. In my 19 years in the front office, I’ve learned that communication is the heartbeat of a school, but creating that communication from scratch every single month? That’s how burnout happens.


I’m on a mission to help school leaders move from "Chaos Coordinator" to "Confident Communicator." That’s why I created the September thru May Monthly Event Flyer Bundle. I built these in the trenches for my own school community, and now I’m sharing the playbook with you.

What’s Inside the Bundle? 🎒

This isn't just a single template. It is a full academic year of professionally designed, high-energy flyers that cover:

  • September: Back-to-School Vibes & Goal Setting

  • October: Fall Festivals & Literacy Nights

  • November/December: Gratitude & Winter Programs

  • January thru May: From New Year Resets to the Final Countdown!

Why You’ll Love It:

  • ✅ Multi-Channel Ready: Every flyer is optimized for social media (IG/FB), digital newsletters (like Smore or ParentSquare), and—yes—the good old-fashioned "printer-friendly" version for backpack mail.

  • ✅ Fully Customizable: Using Canva, you can swap in your school colors, drop in your logo, and change the dates in seconds.

  • ✅ Consistency is Key: When your community sees a consistent, beautiful brand for your school, engagement goes up. Families start looking for that "Monthly Look" to see what’s happening.

The "Admin Bestie" Promise 🤝

I don’t believe school leadership should be a secret society. We are better when we share! This bundle is designed to take one massive task off your plate so you can focus on what actually matters: being present for your kids and supporting your teachers.

The "1000 Days of May": Surviving the May-ember Madness

Image
 They call it May, but any school administrator knows the truth: it’s May-ember . It is that high-octane, non-stop, "how-is-it-only-Tuesday" marathon that marks the end of the academic year. This year, it feels like the madness didn't even wait for the calendar to flip; it spilled right over from April and hit the ground running. It is only May 5 , and if you feel like you’ve already lived a thousand days this month, you aren't alone. The Administrator’s Mental Tab If you looked at the "open tabs" in an admin’s brain right now, it would look something like this: The School Side: State testing logistics, Open House prep, final evaluations, the delicate puzzle of classroom placement for next year, hiring new talent, and the inevitable "staff shuffle." The Big Picture: My district team and I are currently deep in the trenches designing important new incentives for next year. Is May the "right" time to add one more thing to the plate? Proba...

The Power of Being Prepared: Why Our First Three Days Were a Massive Success

Image
 We just wrapped up our first three days of school, and the energy across campus is incredible! The secret to this smooth start didn't happen by chance; it was all about preparation. Building the Foundation We spent April, May, and June completely resetting our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system. We sat down with teachers and staff to identify the exact behaviors we want to see in every corner of our campus—from the cafeteria to the hallways. To keep those expectations clear and top-of-mind, we installed new signage everywhere. Before the school year even started, our teaching team came together for a focused one-day training to ensure we were all aligned. Teaching the blacktop expectations Teaching Expectations from Day One During these first three days, we met directly with every student in grades 1 through 6 to walk through and review our common area rules together. Because of this proactive approach, we are already seeing the positive, respectful beh...

Stealing Time for Science: A "One School, One Book" Adventure 📚🔬

Image
After 19 years in education—navigating everything from the toothless smiles of kindergarten to the voice-cracking transitions of 8th grade—I’ve learned one universal truth: time is our most precious resource. As a principal, I’m a firm believer that we shouldn't just be lecturing; we should be coaching kids through authentic, real-world discovery. But in the crowded schedule of an elementary school day, Science often gets pushed to the back burner. That’s why my recent job-embedded project focused on one thing: "Stealing" time back for Science. The Vision: From Presenters to Coaches I used our school-wide "One School, One Book" (OSOB) event as a launchpad to integrate NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) concepts directly into our literacy blocks. The goal was simple but ambitious: I wanted to see our teachers shift from "presenters" to "Science Coaches." I wanted to walk into a reading lesson and see students actively using Science an...
