[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher at a private school and I (and my colleagues) appreciate all gifts. I would assume that at any DC private school, schools supplies such as reams of paper, markers, etc. would not be needed as the school provides these. A set of nice pens might be the exception to this rule. 
Some ideas for beginning of school year gifts: 
Gift card to a coffee shop or cafe that you know is close to the school (so easy for the teacher to use before or after work).
Flowers in a vase, or a simple potted plant, and the teacher can keep them on their classroom desk. 
A little "self care set" with hand cream, eye gels, etc. 
Baked goods, teacher can take them home or share in the staff room. 
Chocolates. 
Maybe: A gift card for the website "Teachers Pay Teachers" (unless the school already has an account for teachers to use). 
I think it's nicer for the student to present the gift in the morning or at break time, not in class. Of course we know it's from the parents and I would always send a thank you note to the parents, but it's a nice interaction with the kid, and the teacher then doesn't have to receive the gift in front of other families at back to school night.
