Do you just go in her office and tell her or write something up? How's the best way to go about it? What's more professional? I'm giving like a 2 month notice.

I always wrote a letter, thanking my employer for the opportunities and support he/she provided.
Giving two months notice is smart, you can help her find a replacement -- she'll remember that if you ever need a good reference in the future.

The best way to go about it is to, write an office letter. but speak to your boss about it before handing in your resignation. even if you are not friendly with the boss, courtesy demands that you tell him/her informally and explain why you are leaving. as long as you giving the company adequate notice, they shouldnt have a problem with it. also remember that you might need a reference from that company some day, so you dont want to burn out your candle. try and maintain a professional relationship and keep it cordial. after you have told your boss, you can then hand your resignation letter the next day or days after.
I had to resign from my work some years back to return to school and this was exactly what I did.

You should type up a letter explaining that you enjoyed the time that you worked there but that you have to pursue further education to better yourself. You should mention in the letter the specific date which would be your last day and thank them for the opportunity.
When you take the letter to your boss, you can verbally express everything that is in the letter, but it's always a good idea to compose a written letter of resignation. The main thing to keep in mind is that you don't want to "burn any bridges" with your employer. You never know, you may find that school doesn't work out and you need your job back.

You should definitely write a letter of resignation. State things like you enjoyed your time with the company and thank them for allowing you to work there. Always leave on good terms because you NEVER know if may need to come back in the future to work there again. 2 weeks notice is a must!

Write a letter to make it official. "Dear so and so, Please accept this letter as my notice of resignation as of (the date you leave). " You bring it to his office in person and sit down while he reads it. If you feel like telling him why it's up to you but you don't have to explain yourself. If you want to have a job to come back to after school, you can ask him right there or ask about company policies or maybe they even have financial assistance for employees willing toupgrade their skills.
It's very nice of you to give 2 months notice but it isn't necessary. Depending on the type of job you have and how hard it is to find and train someone you shouldn't have to give more than 2 weeks notice. Besides if your position there hasn't been for long they might dump you sooner than you're ready.
Follow your gut instincts and do what you feel is right for you.

Congratulations on going back to school! I would write something basic up, a simple resignation letter, and then bring t with me and actually tell her. After you have told her you can offer the letter for your HR files as needed. Just a letter by itself without a chat might seem cold.
Good luck in school! Most people I know have a much better experience going back to school as adults.

Write a resignation letter and have it in an envelope when you go to meet with her to tell her the news. Sit down and tell her you are resigning and that day X will be your last day. Give her the reason(s). I usually tell them that it is strictly a personal decision and has nothing to do with the company or it's policies. I hand them the letter at the end of the meeting. It's a formality.

Tell your boss in person, that you need to move on to bigger better things to better your life so your going back to school. Don't just quit or not show up because that would be burning a bridge and if school doesnt work out for you then maybe you would have a spot where you were working.

Definitely write up a notice and keep one copy for yourself. Make it professional but not too wordy and be sure that it is pleasant. (i.e. thank them for the wonderful time you had working there, mention it being a pleasure working with such a great team, etc). You should personally give it to your boss with a short explanation...
good luck in school!

Assuming you have a fairly good relationship with your boss, just talk to him/her and say so. Usually, a good boss will be happy to hear you're continuing your education with the hopes of improving your status. If it's not so good, a simple letter would be fine, but then I would only give the standard two weeks.

Just to let you know that I am planning on returning to school in two months. When I get the plans finalized I will give you a written two weeks notice. I really appreciate the opportunity to work for you.
