So many parents seem to email their kids teachers.. is it appropraite to ask the teacher for the email address
Answer:
Just ask up front if e-mailing is a preferred method of communication with her/him. It's preferable to notes home because the notes can get lost en-route. Phone calls can be tough because either it's the middle of the school day and the teacher is busy or you must wait until after hours and that's not fair on the teachers (when does their work day end?). I'll best most will welcome the method.
Be casual and just ask if you can contact your teacher by e-mail when you need help on something.
I'd ask the teacher something like, "What's the best way to contact you if I have any questions?" Then if they say e-mail, you can ask for the e-mail address.
Just ask them if they have an email to contact them with. All of the teachers I have ever had/been in contact with, have always been nice, Im sure they will be nice about the matter and gladly offer you their email address.
Yes..very much appropriate.
Most teachers now days do bereave that is the right thing to do, If you feel Out of place to ask for the address, Try going to your child's School Home page. Normally all schools list teachers and the addresses.
It's totally appropriate.
Some teachers who really want to get involved with their students'
success, will love to give you their e mail address so that they
can talk to you.
no better or worse than phone numbers or office numbers.
you can ask! why not..if they are keen to help they might give you details
Never hurts to ask him or her if this is ok with them.
Its normal. parents are busy and so are teachers. They have a job hello? When you grow up and get a job you will understand.
Absolutely. Most teachers give it out at the beginning of the year. I think they prefer to communicate by e-mail as well. You can either ask the teacher for it, or call the school secretary and ask them. You may even be able to find it on the school's website. All teachers should have an e-mail account set up by the school.
Our school district has its own web site and all of the teachers emails are listed. If your school doesnt provide this, I would call the teacher directly and ask them if they mind emails being sent to ask questions or check up on the student.
Something that is that personal is better asked for in person or over the phone. I would say if you have a specific reason for wanting it then it shouldn't be a problem for them. Notes from home tend to get lost, and are too impersonal.
I suppose if the teacher is happy to be emailed then okay but I would rather talk to the teacher. I guess these days though with working parents they can't get to the school and this is a great way to keep in touch with the teacher and voice their concerns and vise versa. I would not ask the teacher for her email address I don't think that is right but if it is offered it would be handy for many people. But never ask. Teachers already spend hours a night at home preparing for the next day without having to respond to emails from the parents
