What's inside this resource

Meet the Teacher Welcome Notes for Second Grade Students As students transition into second grade, these printable welcome notes facilitate open communication between parents, students, and the new teacher. Students can bring the notes home on the first day to spark conversation about their new classroom and teacher. The notes provide parents with the teacher's contact information, classroom procedures, and highlights of the second grade curriculum in an easy-to-read format. Teachers can utilize the notes to introduce themselves and set the tone for an exciting year filled with reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. These welcome notes help second grade teachers, students, and parents start the school year off on the right foot.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students read a personalized welcome note from their teacher to build a sense of classroom community on the first day of school.

Teaching tips

  • Fold the double-sided card in half, then fold left to right, before filling in the student's name, teacher's name and the four About-the-Teacher prompts by hand.

  • Choose the black-and-white version to save on color ink, or the full-color version for a more polished first-day handout.

  • Use the editable PowerPoint version to write a personal note instead of the pre-written "Dear ___" message.

  • Give the folded cards to students on the first day of school; when they unfold their card, they get a fun surprise and learn about their new teacher.

Skills covered

  • Classroom-community building — students receive a personalized note and a short "About the teacher" profile to read on the first day of school.

  • Card assembly and customization — teachers fold, hand-write, or digitally edit each card using the included black-and-white, color or editable PowerPoint versions.
