If You’re Leaving Because You Have Found a New Teaching Job
Dear Mr.Boss,
I have enjoyed the past six years as a teacher at Estacado Elementary School. I have had a positive experience and will never forget the time I’ve spend with my students and fellow staff.
However, after carefully considering this decision, I have accepted another teaching position. I feel this is the best choice for my family.
My resignation date will be May 17th, the last day of school. I will be sure to follow necessary protocol for leaving my teaching position. Please let me know if there are additional steps to take. I have truly enjoyed working with you and my fellow teachers.
Respectfully,
Jan A. Veazey
If You’ve Chosen to Become a Stay-At-Home Mom
Dear. Mrs. Bossy,
The past seven years at Oak Ridge Elementary School has been a tremendous blessing to me. I have truly enjoyed teaching here, and will never forget the the time I’ve spent with my students and fellow staff.
However, after prayerfully considering this decision, my husband and I feel it is best for me to stay home with my new baby. I will miss teaching here, but I feel it is the best decision for my family.
My last day will be May 24th. I will be sure to clean my classroom thoroughly and will follow the necessary protocol for leaving my position.
I have truly enjoyed working with you and my fellow teachers.
Sincerely,
Dana Brinkley
If You’re Relocating
Dear. Mr. McBoss,
I have truly enjoyed my last twelve years as a teacher at Ramirez Elementary. Working with you and my fellow teachers has been a very positive experience. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to teach here.
After carefully considering this decision, I have chosen to move out of state to be closer to family. I will miss my job here, but feel this was necessary as my mother has become seriously ill.
My last day of work will be May 27. I will be sure to leave my classroom in good condition and will follow the necessary protocol.
Thank-you fo allowing me the opportunity to teach at Ramirez Elementary.
Respectuflly,
Eric Brown
