Absent Note for School because Travel
Respected Principal,
I am writing to inform you that our daughter Elaine, who is a student of grade 2 in your school, shall not be able to attend school next week. We will be traveling to France for a week owing to a family event, therefore kindly excuse Elaine from [date] to [date].
We would appreciate it if you can share next week’s study plan so we can cover the course as soon as we return.
Sincerely,
Absent Note for School because Health
Dear Principal,
I am writing to explain that my son Jim studying at your school in grade 3, was unable to attend school today. Since yesterday evening, he complained of stomach ache (or asthma, ilness, etc. ). I have taken him to the doctor for medicine, and hopefully, he will be better soon. He complained of a severe headache in the morning, so I decided to let him rest for a while. He will be back to school from tomorrow.
The doctor has recommended that he stay home for three additional days so that he doesn’t get anyone else at school sick and Jacob will be bringing in a doctor’s note as well. I’d also like to know if it’s possible that I could come and pick up Jim’s homework for the day as well so that he doesn’t fall behind on assignments.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
