Leave Letter for School from Parent

The document titled 'Leave Letter for School from Parent' is a formal letter written by a parent to the school principal to request a leave of absence for their child due to the coronavirus crisis. The letter begins with the account holder's first name, last name, address, phone number, and email address. It is addressed to the school, including the school's address and the current date.

 

The body of the letter starts with a salutation to the principal. The parent states that they are requesting a leave of absence for their child, specifying the start and end dates of the requested leave. Alternatively, they may request leave until the end of the coronavirus crisis without specifying an end date.

 

The parent then provides a reason for the leave, which can vary depending on the circumstances. If the reason is being under quarantine for contact with a coronavirus patient, the parent explains that their child is currently under quarantine as required by the government to prevent the spread of the virus. If the reason is being under quarantine from traveling overseas, the parent mentions that their child has just returned from an overseas trip and is under quarantine as required by the government. If the reason is temporarily moving out of the district, the parent states that their family will be temporarily relocating to ensure social distancing during the crisis. If the reason is to stay at home, the parent expresses their preference for their child to stay at home during the coronavirus period, practicing social distancing and not attending school. If the reason is illness, the parent states that their child is unwell and it is better for them to stay home until fully recovered. If the reason is unable to travel to school due to lockdown and restrictions in the district, the parent explains that their child is unable to travel to school during this period.

 

The parent concludes the letter by stating that they will be homeschooling their child and ensuring that they keep up with schoolwork through the internet during the period of absence. They express gratitude for the principal's attention and sign off with their first and last name.
