From Parent to Child's Teacher

Dear Mrs. Brown,

Where do I begin? Probably before the school year even started, when I heard such nice things about you. Based on popular opinion, I expected great things this year-- and I have not been disappointed. Trevor always has positive things to say about your class, from your animated storytelling to your funny dog stories to your kindness on the playground. It's comforting to know that not only is Trevor getting a great education, but he is happy at school as well.

Thank you for all your hard work. We truly appreciate it.

Hi Mrs. Boppy,

I wish I'd had a chance to say a proper thank you in person to you for being such a fantastic teacher. Lionel had a terrific experience in your class and from what I could observe when I volunteered on Fridays, I can see why. You have such enthusiasm and patience. I don't know how you're able to keep it up!

Thank you also for the lovely earrings. They're perfect for summer. They even have school colors :)

Hope you have a great summer!

Dear Miss Jennifer,

My husband and I are so happy that Luke is enjoying preschool, you have no idea. It's not easy to send your first child to school but seeing what a ball Luke is having makes it a breeze. And we know we have you to thank for that. The activities you plan, the room you decorate, the friendships you help foster-- it's all incredible, and it's helping our son (and us!) believe that school is fun, which is incredibly important.

Thanks for everything!

Dear Mrs. Knight,

Thank you for all your hard work this year. Britt loves school and it's easy to see why. We hear all about the dynamic way you deliver lessons and encourage participation and are pleased that our daughter is learning so much.

Enjoy the rest of the school year. You're doing a fantastic job!

Dear Mr. Cyr,

We feel so lucky to have gotten you as a teacher this year. Abby loved your class from the start and never grew bored. You helped her get organized, motivated, and above all, interested in learning, which is no small feat. The whole family thanks you!

Have a great summer. You deserve it!

From Student to Teacher

Dear Mr. Frank,

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your class this year. I know it's not easy to teach a bunch of crazy kids like us but you managed to keep us all interested and we even had fun. I wish all my teachers were like you. Thanks a lot!

Sincerely,

--------------------------------------

Dear Mrs. Kinder,

Thank you for teaching a great class this year. I learned a lot and know you helped prepare me for next year. Thanks for always being patient and in a good mood. I always looked forward to class.

Best wishes for a great summer!

Dear Mrs. Wiggert,

I hope you know how much I'll miss you next year! I really loved your class and know I learned a ton. You have a way of making dry subjects really interesting. I only hope some of my college teachers can be half as good as you.

Thank you!!

Sincerely,

Thank You to School and Office Administrators

Dear Mrs. Taylor,

What would we do without you? Who else has the patience to deal with miscellaneous people passing in and out of their workspace all day and hundreds of random requests? We are very lucky to have you in our school office. We hope you know how much we appreciate your hard work!

Best wishes from us all.

Thank You Teacher: Help with Special Needs

Dear Helena,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate everything you've done to help Ellie improve her auditory processing. She's gone from having her Kindergarten and first-grade teachers comment on her lack of focus in class to being a confident second-grader whose teacher hasn't seen her lose focus once. It's truly a tribute to both her and your efforts-- she definitely couldn't have done it without you.

You've helped build the foundation for improved academic achievement, focus and social interactions. The impact of your help is so significant. It will help her for the rest of her life. I truly can't thank you enough and will be forever grateful.

I'm sorry that our sessions are coming to end because we'll definitely miss seeing you. I wish you well in your new endeavors teaching second and third grade and hope that we'll keep in touch.

My sincerest thanks,

Thank You Teacher for Work with Difficult Child

Dear Mr. Singer,

We just wanted to thank you for your patience this year. We know Jason isn't an easy child to manage and recognize the time you've spent working with him. It would be easier for you to label him a troublemaker and walk away but instead you deal with issues as they arise directly and fairly, and we appreciate that.

We're thankful that there are teachers like you in our system. Jason will thank you one day himself, we are sure of it.

Best wishes.

Thank You Teacher Note for Writing Letter of Recommendation

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I can't thank you enough for the letters of recommendation you wrote. I know you put a lot of time and effort into them and hope you know how much I appreciate it. I hope I can do the same for someone else someday.

I will keep you posted on any responses I get.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
