Email

Email etiquette is important! If you need to get in touch with your teacher (or anyone) via email, here are some helpful tips to make sure that you sound professional and polite, AND that your question or need will be addressed right away! 

Guidelines:
Include a clear, concise subject line so your teacher knows what your email is about.
• Address people properly.
• Identify why you are sending the email.
• If requesting a meeting, include availability.
Check:
• Did I spell everything correctly?
• How is my grammar?
• How is my tone? (Do I sound happy? Sad? Angry?)
• "Please" and "thank you" go a long way!
