Educational Email Etiquette

If you are emailing me (or any other teacher) please abide by the following three simple rules:

1. The subject line should relate to the message of the email: If there is 'no subject' I will assume there is nothing in the email. Clearly you sent this email by mistake. An IB student would be savvy enough to know the subject line should relate to the message of the email.

2. Remember you are still writing to your teacher: Simply typing 'excel' will prompt me to ponder, what is this student hoping I excel at? Is he or she trying to motivate me? Additionally, "Yo! Msssss! Whad up?! Here'z my paper" is appropriate for a 90's rap video, not an email to your teacher. Instead go for the tried and true:

Dear/Hi Ms. Saxe,

(the body of your email)

Thanks!/Have a good (time of day)/See you tomorrow,

your name

3. Attachments should be saved with a relevant title_your name: For example: "CO2 Data Analysis_Saxe" is outstanding, "Untitled" or "Science Lab" is not outstanding.
