Email Etiquette

✅ Email Etiquette Checklist

Before You Send Your Email:

🔲 Use a clear subject line
Example: “Question about Homework for Science”

🔲 Start with a proper greeting
Use: “Dear Mrs./Mr./Ms. [Last Name],”

🔲 Use polite and respectful language
Avoid slang, emojis, or texting language (like “u” or “lol”).

🔲 State your purpose clearly
Be brief but specific. Say why you're writing in 1–2 sentences.

🔲 Use complete sentences and correct spelling/punctuation
Proofread before sending!

🔲 Sign off properly
Example: “Sincerely, [Your Full Name]” or “Thank you, [Your Name]”

🔲 Check the tone
Make sure it sounds respectful, not demanding or rude.

🔲 Don’t email late at night
If possible, send messages during school hours or early evening.

🔲 Only email when needed
Ask yourself: Can I find the answer in class notes or by asking a classmate first?
