Teacher Thank You Notes

Dear _________,

Thank you for signing up to drive on our upcoming field trip. It’s because of dedicated parents like you who are willing to volunteer their time that our class is able to experience important out-of-classroom activities that will truly enhance their education. As your child’s teacher, I want you to know how much I value your support.

Dear _________,

When I walked into my classroom and saw the large case of paper, I was overwhelmed with appreciation. With school district budget cuts, important supplies such as paper are becoming scarce commodities, with only a few reams of paper being distributed to teachers over the course of a year. Your donation will allow me to provide weekly homework packets for the students, something that would otherwise not be possible without your generosity. Thank you for being an important partner in public education.

Dear _________,

Thank you so much for your donation of hand sanitizer and Kleenex to our classroom. During the cold and flu season both of these supplies will come in very handy! I feel extremely lucky this year to have such supportive parents and families.

Thank you again.

Dear _________,

I want you to know how grateful we are to have you as Emily’s teacher this year. You plan so many great activities and field trips, and your teaching style really engages the kids, and gets them pumped up and excited about learning. It’s wonderful to see Emily come home in a very happy mood, with wonderful things to say about you, and eager to share what she’s learned in class that day. I appreciate all of your hard work, and the positive learning environment you provide for your students.

Dear _________,

Thank you so much for a wonderful fifth-grade year! I know Joey can often be quite a handful, and when we decided not to medicate him for his ADHD symptoms, I was so grateful for your understanding and support. You were always so patient and kind, and all of the extra time you spent with him after school was beyond generous. You are an incredible teacher, and I have let Principal Walker know just how lucky he is to have you on his teaching staff. Thank you again for everything.

Dear _________,

This third-grade year was absolutely incredible! Under your patience and guidance, Gina academically grew leaps and bounds this year. Her test scores were up in all areas, and my husband and I are so pleased with her progress. I just wish you could move up a grade along with the kids so you would be Gina’s fourth-grade teacher. Thank you for all the love, time and energy you put into teaching this great group of kids. You are a fantastic teacher, and we will miss you next year.

Have a wonderful summer.

Dear _________,

I was delighted to learn that you are Sam’s kindergarten teacher. I have heard so many wonderful things about you from other parents, so I had my fingers crossed that Sam would be assigned to your classroom. If you ever need a driver for field trips, or extra classroom help on Fridays, I am ready and available to help.

Best wishes for a great start to the new school year!

Dear _________,

When I walked Katie into your classroom this morning and saw what an amazing learning environment you’ve created for your students, I was overwhelmed with delight! The colorful decorations and the sheer number of grade-appropriate manipulatives available to the children were an impressive sight. And the way you greeted each child at the door of your classroom as he/she arrived, was so sweet and kind. It fills my heart with happiness to know that Katie will spend her first-grade year with you as her teacher.

Thank you for everything.
