Description
End-of-Year Letter from the Teacher to Students and Parents:
These editable (the greeting and signature fields are the ONLY editable portion of the letters) end-of-year letters to students and parents include encouraging messages that teachers can send home to parents as well as a letter that teachers can send home with students (each letter contains a different message and is ORIGINAL).
The letter to parents comes with a boy, girl, and gender-neutral version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter). This letter has three color background options and similar backgrounds in black and white.
The letter to students comes with three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher uses the pronouns “you” and “I” throughout the letter.
A NOTE ABOUT THESE END-OF-YEAR LETTERS:
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 may write in the student’s name and your signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein.
THE BODY OF THE LETTER IS NOT EDITABLE.
ALL THE LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I did NOT copy a letter that I found online and retype it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.
You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option to send paperless letters remotely (via email or through Google). Look at the final page of the GOOGLE SLIDES FILE for instructions on sending these end-of-year letters remotely!
If you have any questions about this product, please ask before purchasing. If you aren’t sure how to edit text boxes, I’ve included a page of instructions at the beginning of the product for your convenience.
This PDF file contains 34 pages + Google Slides.

Exactly what I needed… wanted a letter to let the students and families know this is what we expected for the year but they still Have a piece of my heart!
Megan F –
This resource was a great way to connect with my kinders, especially with distance learning going on!
Lindsay Ball –
I really liked the letters, especially about COVID-19. It was well written. I wish there was an option that didn’t mention moving teachers because my students are with me for multiple years in a self contained special education classroom. There were very kid- & family- friendly letters which made me purchase them!
Samantha P –
Nice, well-written letters to give families and/or students for the end of the year.
Mary Jo S –
Thank you for the resource. Wish there was a generic one for all parents. It is nice to personalize boys/ girls. However, with a class of 32 it takes a little time.
Marina P –
Really nice letters – better suited for older students, in my opinion. But a good variety and well written. Good variety.
Thanks!

Whitney Wright –
Great Product! THey were perfect! Thank you!
Kesarin S –
These letters were beautifully written and expressed all the emotions I was feeling. The only issue I had was that I looped with half of my students and the letter mentions “new space” and “new teacher.” Additionally, I have TKs mixed in with my Kinders, which means I’ll have them again next year for Kinder so the closing of the letter wasn’t applicable in my situation. It won’t apply to them again next year because I’ll essentially be looping with them so the beginning of the letter won’t work for us. I wish there was an editable page so that we could cater small details like the examples mentioned, to our specific circumstances. For example, I would’ve wanted to be able to just take out the “new” so that I can say “be your teacher again.” Anyway, I know many teachers don’t normally loop with their students so I just have a special scenario and would still recommend this product. Thank you!Show more

I am moving states and will not be seeing some of the students that I have worked with for 4 years. This year has been especially challenging for my students and their families. I wanted to send them a letter, but didn’t quite have the words. I really loved the messaging/wording in this letter.
