Principal's Monthly Checklist
A simple monthly rhythm for the jobs that keep a school steady — without turning leadership into a to-do avalanche.
What is it?
A principal’s monthly checklist gathers the recurring leadership and administration tasks that should happen every month.
Why it matters
When monthly jobs compete with daily interruptions, important work slips. A short checklist keeps the essentials visible.
Common challenges
- Too many lists in too many places
- Urgent work crowds out important work
- Delegation is unclear
Recommended workflow
Keep one living monthly list
Delegate what others can own
Review progress mid-month
Close the month before the next one begins
