BACK-TO-SCHOOL LETTERS FROM THE TEACHER:

• This 5th grade back-to-school letters PDF includes a letter teachers can send home to parents, as well as a letter teachers can send home with students (each letter has a different message).
• The letter to parents comes in male, female, and gender-neutral versions (pronouns change throughout the letter). This letter includes three color background options, plus the corresponding backgrounds and black-and-white clip art. Including all versions of the parent letter (gender, color, black-and-white), there are 12 pages.
• The letter to students includes three color background options, plus the corresponding backgrounds and black-and-white clip art. Including all versions of this letter, there are 6 pages. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option because the teacher uses the pronouns “you” and “I” throughout.
• THE BODY OF THESE LETTERS IS NOT EDITABLE! All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter if you choose. If you’d like to print the letters as-is, you can write in the student’s name and your own signature. For reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein, size 14.
• BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I did not copy them from any online source or use AI to create them. I wrote them 100%.
