Custodian Cards Editable

About this resource

Custodian cards for any day of the year: 24 cut-apart thank-you cards for custodians and school staff, kid-written and grown-up, in one fillable PDF. Type the names, or print and let a child write with a pencil, then cut each sheet apart in three straight cuts. Also included: a class-signed card, a group card for a team or grade level, a certificate, 12 mini thank-you tags, a note home to families, a phrase bank, a planner and a filled example.

WHAT IS INCLUDED - 19 pages

Start And Set Up

• Start Here - three steps and a chooser matching eight situations to a page
• How the Type-In Fields Work - one page, so nobody emails you
• Who Are We Thanking? - a 12-row list of names, jobs and what each person does for the school, with a blank line for your school's own rule about gifts or recognition

The Cards - 24 Designs, Six To A Sheet

• Kid-Written Cards, Set 1 and Set 2 - 12 different cards in big friendly print with a "My name" line, short blanks for Dear, Thank you for, and From, and a picture to color
• Grown-Up Cards, Set 1 and Set 2 - 12 different cards in a warmer, plainer voice for staff, parents and teams
• Each card has its own picture and its own words (broom, mop bucket, spray bottle, star, heart, sun, flower, keys, trophy, rainbow, sparkle, smile); all art is drawn for this set

More Ways To Say Thank You

• Class-Signed Card - a front, an inside message and 24 signature lines for the whole class

Reference, Tracking And Example

• Thank-You Phrase Bank - 24 starters in four groups (kid-written, grown-up, group card, to say out loud), each ending in a blank
• Thank-You Planner and Roll-Up - who is thanked, which card, when it was handed over, with totals
• Card Box Cover and Dividers - a cover and three divider tabs
• A filled example for an invented class (Room 12) and invented staff, with every count re-added on the page

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF. Open it in a PDF reader, click a line, type, press Tab to move on, and Save As. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Slides deck, a Google Doc or a PowerPoint file, and you cannot drag the boxes around.

It is not tied to a date, so use it any day. It is not a school policy or a rule about gifts or recognition: your school's own rule gets a blank line. The example class and every name in it are invented and say so on the page. Pages are light on ink, with no page mostly dark.

Who This Is For

Classroom teachers, special education teachers, counselors and student councils who want their class to thank the custodian; grade teams and staff rooms signing a group card; and parent groups looking for a quick, ready-to-print thank you for school staff.
