Write A Letter To Your Teacher Asking Her To Grant You Leave Of Absence

Back in my senior year of high school, it was nearing the end of the first semester. I had to write a letter to my teacher requesting for leave of absence. There were two reasons for this request: one, I wanted to take part in an internship and effective communication course; two, I wanted to focus on my academic performance. Back then, I wasn’t so great at writing formal letters. I consulted with my sister and together, we were able to come up with something convincing. We drafted 10 drafts before we got it just right. Writing that letter gave me a sense of accomplishment. My teacher granted me leave of absence for the entire term and saw promising results in my performance back in the second semester. To take part in any activity today requires you to send an application letter/letter of intent to whomever is in charge. Below are sample application letters you can use as templates:

Re: Requesting leave of absence

Dear Ms. [teacher’s name],

Please accept this letter as an official request for a leave of absence from school. I need to take time off from school because my mother is in the hospital and has been for the past week. She had surgery on Monday and it seems like she’ll be in the hospital for another few days at least. I know that I’ve missed a lot of classes already, but I’m hoping you’ll understand that this is a very important family matter for me and my family, and I’m asking for your permission to take time off from school to help out at home.

Dear Teacher,

I am writing to ask for your leave of absence from [class name] for the month of April.

I have not been able to attend class regularly due to my mother’s illness, and I hope that you will grant me this time off so that I can care for her. She is recovering slowly, but it will be a long process.

I appreciate your consideration in this matter, and look forward to returning to class in May!

Dear Ms. Smith,

I am writing to ask if I can be granted leave of absence from [class name] for the week of April 7th to April 12th.

I have an important family emergency that requires my immediate attention, and I need to be home with my family during this time.

I have already spoken with my parents about this plan and they agree that it is necessary. They will also be able to provide any documentation that you may need as proof of my absence.

Thank you again for your consideration in this matter, and I look forward to seeing you in class next week!

Dear Teacher,

I am writing this letter to ask for leave of absence from school. I am not feeling well enough to attend classes and would like to get better before coming back to school. I have already missed a few classes and feel that it would be best if I missed the rest of the week.

I apologize for inconveniencing you with this request. I will make up all of my work and turn it in on time when I return next week.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Dear Ms. [teacher’s name],

I am writing to request a leave of absence from school for the next two weeks. I have a family emergency that requires me to be out of town, and I sincerely hope you will approve my request and allow me to miss the first few days of class.

Thank you so much for your consideration!

To whom it may concern,

My name is [name], and I am a student of [school name]. I am writing to request an absence for the following dates:

May 15th through May 17th

I hope you will consider my request, and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Dear Ms. Smith,

I am writing to ask for a leave of absence from school. I have been feeling very ill and have not been able to attend school for the past few days. I have received medical advice that I should stay home until my illness has cleared up, but I am desperate to get back into the classroom and complete my work.

I understand that you may be reluctant to grant me this leave of absence due to the fact that it is almost midterm season, but please understand that there are extenuating circumstances which make it necessary for me to be absent from class. If it were not for these extenuating circumstances, I would not be asking for this leave of absence at such a crucial time in the semester.

I promise that if you grant me this leave of absence, I will make up any missed assignments as soon as possible and will complete all tests on time. Thank you so much for considering my request.

Dear Ms. Smith,

I hope you are doing well and that the school year is going well for you. I am writing to request a leave of absence from school for the next two weeks. My mother is in the hospital and I need to go home to be with her. She has been very sick and I am afraid that she will not make it through this time.

I understand if you do not grant me this leave of absence; however, I would like to ask that you please consider it because my mother needs me right now.
