Parent Email Template: Teacher Appreciation Week Advance Notice
When it comes to Teacher Appreciation Week, timing is everything.
This email template was written to help you loop families in now—before May hits in full force. It gently reminds families that Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up, shares where to find their teacher’s “Favorite Things” sheet, and most importantly: reassures them that there’s no pressure to buy anything.
So if you're looking for a low-stress way to engage your families and make Teacher Appreciation Week feel special for your staff, start with this email. It’s thoughtful, customizable, and one less thing you have to write from scratch. And you can customize it to fit your center’s needs!
💡 Pro Tip: Send it out a couple weeks in advance to give families time to participate in a way that works for them—and helps you plan with fewer last-minute surprises.
Subject Line: Let’s Celebrate Our Teachers! 🌟
Hi [Center Name] Families,
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up May 5-9, and we’re excited to celebrate our incredible educators who show up every single day with patience, creativity, and care.
The purpose of this week is simple: to recognize the heart and hard work your child’s teachers pour into their classrooms. While gifts are never expected, we know many families love to find small ways to say thank you—whether it’s a handmade card, a kind note, a favorite snack, or kind words at drop-off.
To help make it easy, we’ve put together a “Favorite Things” binder at [insert location], where you can peek at your teacher’s go-to coffee order, favorite color, or little treats they love (just in case you’re looking for ideas).
And this year, we’re inviting everyone to join in: starting May 5, look for a big stack of Post-it notes outside the office. Use them to write a favorite quality, a memory, or a note of appreciation for your child’s teacher and stick it on their door. Let’s fill the halls with love and gratitude—because a few kind words can go a long way.
We’re so grateful for your continued partnership and support—it means the world to our team. Let’s make this Teacher Appreciation Week full of joy, connection, and heartfelt thanks.
Warmly,
[Your Name]
[Your Title / Center Name]
