Email signatures for teachers

A teacher's email signature, clear for every parent.

Parents want to know who is writing and how to reach the school. A simple signature with your name, subject, school and office number does it.

Free for a month. No card needed.

The short answer

What should a teacher's email signature include?

Your name and title as parents know you, your subject or year group, the school's name and crest, the school office phone number and the website. Leave out personal numbers and social media.

01

Professional boundaries.

Use the school office number, not your own, and the school's website, not personal networks. The signature should help parents reach the school.

02

School dates when they matter.

If your school uses banners, an open day or parents' evening can run under your emails with an end date.

Questions

What teachers ask

Does it track when people open my emails?

No. There is no tracking pixel in any signature. Clicks on your signature's own links are counted, and that can be switched off on your dashboard.

How much does it cost?

Your first month is free, with no card needed. After that it is £2.99 a month or £29.99 a year in the UK, €2.99 or €29.99 where the euro is the currency, and US$2.99 or US$29.99 everywhere else, with tax included, and you can cancel at any time.

What do recipients using Outlook see?

Current Outlook plays the animation unless animation effects are switched off in Windows; older versions show the first frame. Every design starts on its finished frame, so either way they see a complete signature.

Should a teacher put a photo in their signature?

It depends on your school's policy. Many schools prefer the crest instead, which works just as well in the photo slot of several designs.

Clear for every parent.

Your name, your subject and the school's number.
