School Excuses
Keep it simple, respectful, and focused on what the teacher needs to know.
Tips
- State the reason briefly and truthfully.
- Include dates/times affected and any required follow‑up.
- Offer to make up work when appropriate.
Examples
- “Please excuse Jamie’s absence today due to a medical appointment. We’ll review the missed material and follow up if needed.”
- “I had a family matter to address after school and couldn’t finish the assignment. I’ll submit it by tomorrow morning.”
- “We experienced a transportation delay this morning. Thank you for understanding.”
