MYP Email Netiquette
Example A:
"I dont't understand what we have to do for the e-portfolio homework." |
|
Example B:
"Dear Mrs. Carter, I started to create the e-portfolio but I wrote the name wrong and it wouldn't let me edit it so I deleted the account. Now when I return to the website it doesn't start the way it did before (Welcome to Weebly). I am not sure what to do. Is it possible that I could meet with you tomorrow at lunch or snack? Regards Alex Grade 11A" |
Which email would you like to receive???
Please use this "Email Netiquette" checklist when sending emails to teachers:
1) Write from your Cedar School Email Account
2) Think about what you're saying.
3) Choose an appropriate greeting. "Hi/Hello/Good morning/Good evening/ Good afternoon [Blank]" is always appropriate.
4) Ask politely. "Could you please e-mail me the page numbers for the next reading? Thank you.
5) Proofread what you've written. You want your e-mail to show you in the best possible light.
6) Sign with your full name, grade. Signing is an obvious courtesy.
7) When you get a reply, say thanks. Just hit Reply and say "Thanks," or a little bit more if that's appropriate. The old subject line (which will now have a "Re:" in front) will make the context clear.
8) If you haven't heard back from your teacher within 24 hours, maybe send a friendly reminder. Some teachers receive a lot of emails in one day and could easily overlook an email that you may have sent.
