[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gift card between $200-$300 (not labeled so they don’t get in trouble) a card my kid helps write and a small meaningful physical gift if that’s something that makes sense — one year we got a book she and I had been discussing signed by the author, for example. I email the principal.

Generic teachers $20 card to Target and a card my kid helps with. [/quote]
At our public school teachers are not allowed to accept such a large gift.  They'd have to turn it over to the school.  Families are capped at giving no more than $100 per teacher per school year.[/quote]

That’s why I don’t write the amount on it.[/quote]
Don't risk their career.  If others hear about it they could get in trouble.  Just follow the rules.[/quote]

No need to worry, they have all privately thanked me and said how much appreciated it was, including one who used it to make sure her kids had gifts from Santa that year. The teachers genuinely going above and beyond really deserve it. One teacher used it to get a piece of pricey art equipment for her classroom. The kind if teacher that does that is not the kind if teacher bragging to her colleagues. [/quote]
