As one of my friends who teaches fourth grade told me last week, we have entered the “really into it” part of the school year. What he meant was that the novelty of the school year has worn off. When the novelty has worn off, it’s time to review some basics that were covered at the beginning of the school year. One of those things is email etiquette.
Every year for a few years I showed a video of Next View to learn noble Send an email to your teacher, with Captain Communicator. It remains my favorite video to illustrate the importance of using a proper greeting and closing when emailing a teacher. It’s cute, effective and only lasts 90 seconds.
Email Etiquette Posters
I created a couple of PDF files to remind students of the basics of writing a proper email to a teacher. First, Five email etiquette tips for students can be viewed online or downloaded here as PDF. The second, Email etiquette reminders could be seen online as a Canva document or downloaded here as PDF.
The difference between the two posters is that the second one mentions font options and has a bit more of a “cartoony” feel to it, while the first one is a bit more linear in nature. Feel free to print and share these posters as you see fit. Below are previews of both posters.
The reminders on the signs are:
- Write a subject line.
- Use an appropriate greeting.
- Try to use the correct spelling.
- Only use “reply all” if everyone needs to read your reply.
- Be patient because your teachers may not check email over the weekend.

If you are looking for a new type of multimedia project for your students to try, consider offering animated explanations. I have a course on how to create and teach with animated explanations. Start the course today and every week for five weeks you’ll get a new lesson to try.
