Saying Goodbye to Students at End of School Year

Here is a sample good-bye letter to use with high school students.
Dear Students of 6th Period:
Well, this has been some year! This class has had some challenges, but I have truly enjoyed our many interesting discussions and was continually impressed by the many insightful comments you have provided throughout the year. You have helped me understand a lot about what it takes to get kids motivated to learn (it sure isn’t easy sometimes)! Although I didn’t always succeed, I feel I tried my best to help make literature interesting for you. This class caused me some frustrations but also gave me many opportunities to laugh; that is what I will remember.
I want you to know that each of you are amazing, unique individuals and I applaud you all for making the most of your first year of high school. You have so many exciting opportunities before you and I hope that if you ever need assistance or have questions where I might be able to help you out in some way, you will pass by the English office and ask for me. I look forward to seeing you all mature as you make your way through these hallways. For those of you who may not end up back here next year, I wish you many years of happiness, success and enlightenment. As we learned in “The Road Not Taken,” the decisions you make are what determine your life’s path. Please choose wisely and individually; I know your choices will lead you down the road that’s best suited to you.
Have a great summer!
