How to thank a teacher...

There are several ways to thank a teacher. A simple note will do. We love gift cards too. But an often overlooked show of gratitude is to write a letter to the superintendent. You can cc the teacher, and it will go in their personnel file, especially if you mention in the letter that you would like it added to their file. It is kind of a big deal. Often parents chip in for a class gift, send in goodies or a gift card. These are all appreciated. A well crafted letter is free, and an especially appreciated way of letting us know we are doing a good job. By "we" I mean all school personnel: guidance counselors, nurses, ot, pt, speech pathologists, admin assistants, anyone who has helped you and/or your child navigate the public school system in a helpful or meaningful way!
