De wa mata raishu desu. Shitsurei shimasu.

Explanation:
The offering above would be what I call mid-level standard. Putting "sayonara" for the second part would be more formal if you want, but "shitsurei shimasu" is more often used as the final parting words when another meeting will occur before long. "Sayonara" is more for a farewell, as in a significant interval will pass before next meeting. Very informal would be "Ja raishu desu ne. Mata ne," much like "Well, see you next week. La-a-ter. . . "

How often do native English speakers actually say "good-bye" except to signal the end of a *phone* conversation or an actual farewell?

Explanation:
また来週会いましょうさようなら（グッドバイ）

good bye became Japanese-English. so you can use as グッドバイ.
sayonara sounds natural to Japanese, I guess.
raisyuu = next week
