Thank you!

Dear ________________,

Thank you for covering my class while I was out.

Your note told me exactly what got done and what didn't. That saved me an hour.

I'd be glad to have you in my room again.

With thanks,

Questions

What should I write in a thank-you note to a substitute teacher?

Say thank you for covering, then one or two things they actually did: followed the plans, left a clear note, collected the work, kept to your routines. Specific thanks is what a sub remembers, and it tells them you'd have them back.

Can I send it by email instead?

Yes. Copy the words and paste them into an email to the sub, or to the sub office if you don't have the sub's address.

Is anything I type saved or sent?
