10 Important Notes to Send to a Teacher

10 important things

you should consider sending a note or email to a teacher about regarding a student

1. Extended Absence

Let the teacher know if the student will be out for multiple days, especially due to vacations, medical appointments, or family emergencies.

Example: "Just wanted to inform you that [Student's Name] will be absent this week due to [scenario]. Please let us know if there's work to catch up on."

2. Significant Changes at Home

Major events like a celebration in the family, divorce, new baby, or move can affect a student’s behavior or performance.

Example: "Please be aware that [Student] may be a bit distracted and tired— we just had a big family change and they’re adjusting."

3. Leaving early from school

4. Going to different location straight from school

5. Updates on issue discussed

Example: "Just wanted to let you know — [Student] is working on the issue and we are seeing progress"

6. Behavior Changes

If you've noticed a sudden change in mood, motivation, or attitude, the teacher may have noticed too — and can work with you to support the student.

7. Request for Extra Help or Attention

If your child is struggling with a subject, requesting extra help, clarification, or resources is a good reason to reach out.

8. Health Needs

Any serious allergies, asthma, or other medical conditions should always be communicated, even if the school has it on file.

9. Recent Illness

if your child felt sick recently, let the teacher know so they can keep an extra eye out for your child.

10. Positive Feedback or Gratitude

Teachers also appreciate hearing when your student enjoyed a lesson or made a breakthrough. Positive notes go a long way!

Example: "Just wanted to say thank you — [Student] came home excited about your science project today!"
