APRIL FOOLS DAY PRANK LETTER HOME, PRACTICAL JOKE ON STUDENTS

The page repeats the same parent-facing note twice, allowing both copies to be cut or shared separately. It explains that students expect to prank their families, but asks the adult to look concerned and pretend the message concerns school trouble. The note also directs the adult not to prolong the scenario before announcing the April Fools reveal. Because the activity deliberately uses momentary concern, suitability and timing remain a teacher and family judgment.
