Do you text each parent to thank them for the Chanukah gelt? My school does a group amount so it’s signed from the parents that gave. None of my kids teachers ever sent a thank you and it never bothered me but now I’m wondering if I should for my students parents?

If ur elementary school- My teacher added a note to the weekly homework sheet sent home- this way it’s just one note and everyone gets it - otherwise just print a note and fold it up and send home with students- its same kind of format in how they gave to you.

Some do and some don't. I think it's nice to.
I work with kids 1:1 and if I get a gift I am sure to text thank you. Or you can give a thank you card if you don't text the parents.

Personalized gifts get personal thank yous. Group collections get a generic thank you note.

In my experience they rarely do, but I remember the ones who thanked me because it was meaningful to me.
Especially when I gave a lot. It felt nice to be appreciated even though that’s not the reason I gave.

Yes you should. It always bothers me when I give and it's not acknowledged. I'm left wondering if the teacher got it, if she knows I participated, etc.

My kids always bring home a thank you card from their teachers.

As a preschool morah...
If the parents drop off the gelt/gift when I'm there I'll thank them then. On the rare occasion I'm not there when they drop it off, or they send it in the child's bag etc I'll usually text a thank you message.
I think most morahs don't tho bc its become so expected at this point that many don't appreciate it anymore.

My school has a list with all of the parents in the school who participated in the group gift. There is no way I’m able to comb through the whole list and see who did or didn’t give. It’s also nowhere near the whole class so I can’t send home a general message. If someone sends something personal of course I say thank you.

I think it's mentchlich to acknowledge the gift.
Personally, I sent home generic thank you notes to each parent.
