The secretary at our school gave me the great idea of sending coffee pods to the staff lounge. It’s PK-8 school and my kids have/had nearly all the teachers there for homerooms, academic subjects or specials. I sent one giant box of Kcups in before Christmas with a card telling them to enjoy a morning boost in the last days before break and then sent another just in the start of the new year as a welcome back. It was more economical for me and everyone gave us lovely thank you cards for sending something they could all use and share.

I still send a nice gift to all.

Early votes for Cards and Handwritten letters. This year, I admired a lot of student artwork so I already know that I’m getting drawings and cartoons.

Sorry for random capitalizations. The update effed up my phone.

None

We did the same. Once we went from one teacher to 7, that's when I stopped with the gifts.

What school OP? My children’s parochial school collects cash then gives it to the teachers. Ask around.

DC started a private school this year and now has 7-9 teachers instead of 1-2.
What's the etiquette regarding Christmas gifts? Do you give presents to all of them or just the homeroom teacher?

Is there a cap that's appropriate so it doesn't look like a bribe? $25?
