APS gift rules

[Anonymous]

I have a kindergartener so this is my first experience with giving gifts. It is true that the limit is $100 per teacher per year? That’s more than I expected. Are we allowed to give gift cards?

Also, do you typically do gifts for your child’s specials teachers?

Yes that is the limit. I give gifts to specials teachers if they have a particular impact on my kid. I usually give a $25 gift card and a nice note. That’s on par with what I receive from a few of my own students

That’s helpful. Thank you!!

Homeroom parents always collected for the class, and I gave to that rather than doing a separate gift.

This is OP. We don’t have home room parents at DD’s school. We don’t even have home room.

? You have a kindergarten we should have one main teacher and one assistant.

We don't have class parents. Some years we have, this year I haven't heard of any, so they are awfully quiet if they have stepped up to volunteer. We have a very active and supportive PTA though.

So I always just give directly to the teachers.
