Every August for twelve years, I did the same unpaid ritual: rebuild the syllabus, rewrite the parent letter, remake the slides, retype the supply list — hours of my last free week gone, recreating documents I’d already made the year before. So I finally built the version I wish someone had handed me. Your entire first week, done for you — free.
Not a sample. Not a teaser. The actual editable pieces, ready to use in 60 seconds. Here’s exactly what’s inside.
What’s actually inside
An editable syllabus. Your tone, your rules — fill in the blanks and print. No formatting fight.
A parent/guardian welcome letter. The single highest-leverage email you’ll send all year — it sets the relationship before the first bell.
A procedures pack. The routines that make a class run itself, written out and ready to teach.
Meet-the-Teacher slides. A first-impression deck that does the talking so you can focus on the room.
A supply list. Clean, printable, parent-ready.
A week-at-a-glance plan. Your whole first week mapped day by day.
Plus → You’ll also get my growing set of 60-Second Teacher tools — starting with an instant seating-chart generator, with more dropping all summer. They live online and exist for one reason: to hand you back time.
Why it’s free (and the catch that isn’t one)
The honest reason: I’d rather you spend that last summer weekend resting and then walk in handled. The only real deadline is the calendar — the Kit is free through August 10, then it becomes a paid resource. Grabbing it now locks in everything at no cost.
Quick questions, answered
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
Really free through August 10 — you just sign up with your email. The “catch” is that I hope you’ll love it enough to check out my paid resources someday. No payment, no card, no trial.
Do I need a Teachers Pay Teachers account?
Nope. The Kit comes straight to your inbox when you sign up — no marketplace, no checkout.
Can I actually edit everything?
Yes — every piece is fully editable so it sounds like you, fits your school’s rules, and matches your subject. Make it yours in minutes.
I don’t teach ELA. Can I still use it?
Absolutely. The first-week pieces — syllabus, parent letter, procedures, supply list, week-at-a-glance — work for any secondary subject. I just happen to teach from an ELA chair.
What happens after August 10?
The Kit moves to $12. Anyone who grabbed it while it was free keeps it free — so the move is simply to get it before the 10th.
