Dear [Mr./Mrs./Ms.] [Hiring Manager’s Name],

I am writing in regards to the [Position] opening advertised on the San Antonio Independent School District job board. With over six years of experience teaching first and fifth grade students in New Braunfels and San Antonio, I have become an expert at commanding student attention and managing both small and large classrooms. I believe these skills, combined with my ability to foster constructive learning environments, make me an ideal candidate for this role.

Some highlights from my current and past teaching experiences include:

• Developing TEKS-compatible health and nutrition activities to promote better food and exercise habits
• Establishing an open-door policy for 6:30-8:00 am parent/teacher conferences
• Planning and executing a weekly after-school art class open to all grade 1-3 students

Beyond my teaching experience and classroom management skills, I believe my enthusiasm makes me a perfect fit to serve as [Position]. Having had a lifelong passion for education, I am excited by the prospect of working alongside your staff and administrators to help more San Antonio students grow and flourish in their elementary years.

Attached is my resume for further reference. I would enjoy discussing this position with you further and am happy to provide any additional information if needed. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
