Email signature · Teachers
Parents, students and colleagues all email you, often at ten on a Sunday evening. A good signature sets expectations, so you don't have to keep doing it yourself.
Dear parents,
On Thursday class 2B visits the dunes for biology. Please give your child a packed lunch, waterproof shoes and a rain jacket. We're back at school by 15:00.
Kind regards,
Why it matters
A line like 'I reply on school days within two days' protects your evenings and stops the 'did you get my last email?' follow-ups.
Parents often deal with several teachers per child. Your subject, classes or year group help them place you instantly.
Use your school address and the school's phone number. A personal mobile number in a signature tends to end up in group chats.
