So, I’m currently a student teacher (intern) at an elementary school, and when I negotiated my contract with HR, they were fine with me ending in mid-May instead of staying until the end of June like most interns. I asked to end at mid-may because I would be graduating and planning to move home. At the time, it seemed like a non-issue since HR approved it, but now I’m feeling kind of weird about it.

I haven’t told my classroom teacher yet because I didn’t want to make things awkward from the start. My plan is to break the news before going on April break, which would give them about a month’s notice. Does that seem like a reasonable amount of time, or should I tell them sooner? I want to be professional about it, but I also don’t want to deal with weird vibes for longer than necessary.
