Picking a gift for a grade school teacher
Grade school teachers spend their days managing thirty small people, lesson plans, recess duty and a seemingly endless supply of glue sticks, and most of them get through it on coffee and sheer stubbornness. A gift that acknowledges the actual job tends to land better than a generic thank-you: a mug for the first cup before the bell rings, a hoodie for the chilly classroom or the bus duty morning, a tee for the school spirit day or the end-of-year party. Put their grade level or subject on it, or the school year they're in, and it becomes their shirt rather than a stock teacher design. Teacher Appreciation Week falls in early May most years, and it's also worth ordering before the last weeks of school in late spring, when the gift cards and candles start piling up. If you're buying for a whole grade-level team, the Team Shop lets you choose one design and paste each teacher's name, so everyone gets a shirt with their own name on it.
Grade School Teacher gift questions
Can I put the grade level or subject on a teacher shirt?
Yes. Many designs have a second line, so you can type in a grade like 2nd Grade or a subject. The live preview shows you how it will look before you order.
When is Teacher Appreciation Week?
It falls in early May most years, and many schools mark it with a special day. Ordering a couple of weeks ahead helps if you want the gift to arrive in time.
What's a good gift for a whole grade-level team?
Use the Team Shop to choose one design and paste the names of each teacher. Everyone gets a shirt with their own name and size.
Is there a design for a teacher who has a new baby?
There is a baby onesie design with the teacher wording, so you can pair it with a mug or tee for the teacher themselves.
What sizes do the grade school teacher shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a grade school teacher gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.

- A kids tee for their own little onesIf the teacher has children of their own, a kids tee with the word teacher on it is a sweet pairing with their gift.
