Offer your sincere thanks to your child’s teacher for their dedication and hard work. To make it more personal and meaningful, you might include a few specific examples of ways that their teaching has helped your child. But even just a brief note to say “Thanks for everything you do” will mean a lot to them.

No. People love being thanked and appreciated, and teachers are no exception. Many teachers put thank you notes up on their walls or prop them on their desks, and they often keep the letters even after retiring.

Question

How long does a letter of appreciation have to be?

Community Answer

There's no length requirement - a paragraph or two should be fine. You don't need to go on and on, just tell the teacher why you appreciate them in a few sentences, then end the letter.

Question

Can I send my teacher an email instead?

Community Answer

Of course, as long as you have his/her email address. There's really no difference, you'd write the letter the same way.

Question

How do I make sure my letters of appreciation are good and nice?

Community Answer

You can look over you letter once you have finished it, and make sure it has nothing that could possibly offend who you are writing to, and write with sincerity. Think about every good quality of who you are writing to and include them in your letter.
