Teacher Resignation Letter

Introduction



A Teacher resignation letter is written by a teacher informing the relevant authority of his/her intention to resign from his/her teaching post. The letter should be courteous with good reason given so that the teacher can be given an approval quickly. There might be certain procedures that a teacher intended to resign may be subject to. The letter should mention a detailed description regarding the writer’s intention to resign from their position.

The letter must indicate the future employment trajectory of the writer, so as to give the organization a clear picture for reasons for resignation. The letter must be written in a formal manner and must be concise, with the information about the resignation only. If the writer was assigned new assignments, he/she must mention the status of these assignments. The writer should also include information regarding severance pay and other valuable information before the resignation is accepted. The author may request an exit interview with the school/college.

Subject: Resignation letter.

Dear Mrs. Butler,

I am writing this letter to inform you of my intention to resign from my current position of Senior Teacher – Grade 5, Fairview High. Although I have taught in this school for the last six years, I am getting married in December. Hence, I will need time to prepare for my wedding. Moreover, I will be relocating to New Orleans with my husband-to-be after my wedding.

I am sorry for the short notice given which I hope will not cause any inconvenience to you and the students for next year. I shall be completing my semester before I leave. Please allow me to state my gratitude to you for your support and trust during my years of service at Fairview High.

I have completed the assignments that were assigned to me for the upcoming school day celebration, and I have submitted the same to Mrs. Madeline Albright. The assignments of the students have been graded and have ben submitted to the Vice Principal of the School. I wish to request an exit interview where I wish to discuss details about my severance emoluments and other pay that I am entitled to as an employee of the State.

I look forward to your counsel on the proper procedures on my resignation.

Thank you,

Yours Sincerely,

Gillian Hill,

Senior Teacher – Grade 5,

Fairview High,
