Teacher/Coach appreciation gift cards - how much?

[Anonymous]

What is an appropriate gift card value for an elementary teacher, a coach for a travel sport, etc? What about middle school teachers (8 teachers/kid)? How much do you give?

100

Middle school teacher here. Most people give nothing, so anything would be nice.

25-40, depending on if I'm giving multiple gifts through the year and if it's part of a joint team/class gift. I just learned that in APS there's a limit of $100 to any individual over the course of the year - I'd rather do 25 for a few occasions than 100 at once, which seems showy.

I give elementary classroom teacher $25, I give MS teachers a $5 starbucks GC. I used to give a bit more but my youngest is in sped and daycare and this year it would just be out of control since he has 10+ teachers alone.

$0-$100 depending how they interact with my kids. The ones who go above and beyond get $100. The ones barely phoning it in get $10. Average gets $50

My kid is in MS now. I’m giving $20 gift cards to 3 teachers that I feel have gone above and beyond this school year to help my kid in some way. Previously I did $25 for the main teacher in elem.
