If you need help with anything please reach out to your teachers. You will see some resources on how to write a great email followed by all your teacher's emails.

How to write an email for students

adapted from a WikiHow article

1. Write a clear subject line. Your teacher may receive many emails each day, so it's important to be clear why you're sending the message. Include the class period if applicable and—if you are emailing about a specific assignment—the title of that assignment.

2. Address your teacher formally. It's important to start with "Dear Mr./Ms./Mrs. /Mx. [Last Name]" on its own line before creating the rest of the email.

3. Always include some form of body text. When sending in an assignment, for example, it's tempting to attach the assignment and click Send without adding any body text; unfortunately, this is a bad habit to start. To ensure that your teachers understand your email, always include a message in the email.

4. End the email. There are many ways to end most emails, but you should always end emails with some variation of Thank you, on its own line and then your name on a separate line.

• Possible substitutions for Thank you include: Sincerely, Regards, Best, or Thanks.
