[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a private school teacher, holiday and end of year gifts are normal and appreciated. 
I don't think I or any of my colleagues have received a gift at the beginning of the year. Of course it would be appreciated but I don't think it is the norm. 
And truly, a hand written card from the child really is the best gift. [/quote]

I'm not a teacher.....but the above describes what we do.  Holiday and end of year gifts.  Note from my kids to accompany both. Nothing at the start of the year.[/quote]

PS - we stopped this for our oldest at HS because it was discouraged at that school.  But the PA had special teacher treat days that we helped to support financially and/or with time volunteered (usually they were pampered with food/drink/giftbags).  Not sure what younger one's HS will do.

As others have noted - all schools are a little different, so ask a friend you know at the new school (or a buddy family) if there's a protocol you should know about.[/quote]
