200 words
Dear [Name of School Principal],
I am writing this letter to request your permission for an unavoidable absence from school on [date/s]. I understand the significance of school attendance but due to [reason for absence], I will not be able to attend school on the mentioned dates.
I assure you that my studies will not be affected as I will make up for any missed classwork or assignments. Moreover, I have already informed my teachers and have ensured that I have all the necessary class notes and projects.
I humbly request that my absence should not affect my academic record in any way as I have always been dedicated to my studies and have maintained a good record of class attendance.
If there are any catch-up classes, assignments or tests that I need to prepare for, please let me know and I will make sure to complete them before or after the absence.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for considering my request. It is my hope that my absence will not affect my academic standing.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
