Why do you even need to write a statement about your child’s absence from school or other educational institution? The fact is that during the educational process the school is directly responsible for the life and health of its ward. Therefore, willy-nilly, they must track the whereabouts of the child and clarify the reasons for the absence; moreover, the government agency must have written confirmation of this data - a statement from the parents.

It is worth noting that notifying the class teacher does not preclude filing an application to the director.
A statement to a teacher is respectful; notification to the administration is a formal procedure. In cases where the child missed a couple of classes or one day, for example, due to a visit to a medical facility.
The omission is insignificant and does not violate the rules of the charter. In this situation, it will be enough to write an explanatory note to the class teacher.
A statement about the child’s absence from classes is required in the following cases:
- The child is not feeling well. However, he should not miss classes for a long time, then he will need to bring a certificate from a medical institution.
- Disease. If a student does not attend classes for an extended period, a doctor's certificate must be brought. If there is one, there is no need to write a statement.
- For family reasons. This expression is the most common. It is preferable that these reasons be supported by evidence.
- Due to departure. For example, to a sanatorium. It is better that treatment in a sanatorium is recommended by the attending physician and there is written evidence.
If the reason for failure to attend classes is justified and has evidence, then problems with the administration of the educational institution will not arise.
Due to illness (health reasons - fever, etc.)

A note to school from parents to a physical education teacher: example
If a student is unable to participate in physical education classes due to his health, and there is no document from the doctor about exemption, then you can send a letter to the teacher with indicative content: “... Dear, (Name of the teacher!) I ask you to spare my daughter/son Full name of the student. Class number from physical education lessons due to poor health.”
Of course, you can send such a letter to the physical education teacher, but he does not have the right to exempt you from lessons at his own discretion. He can let go, but only once or twice as an exception, and then under the responsibility of the parents, accompanied by them.
First, if a child is truly sick, the teacher must first refer the student to the school doctor's office. As a last resort, the teacher can place the student on the “substitute” bench in the gym, under his own supervision. But nevertheless, parents often use such letters to exempt their “child” from physical education classes.

We ask you to exempt our daughter from physical training, since yesterday, November 9, 2017. She suffered a bruise on her left leg while playing basketball. We ask you to provide her with another easy (in your opinion) task for the period of the lesson, so that Svetlana can attend the classes and perceive the lesson.
We hope for your understanding.

Statement from parents: legal framework.
One of the main regulations states that if a student does not show up for lessons at school, then the people responsible for him (parents or guardians of the child) are obliged to notify the administration of the educational institution.
This rule follows from the legislation of the Russian Federation on education No. 273-F3 dated December 29, 2012. Namely, from Part 1 of Art. 43. The school charter may contain additional rules and regulations regarding the behavior of schoolchildren.
For example, the supplement most likely states how many days a student has the right to be absent from classes due to illness without a medical certificate.
If the rules established by the educational institution are violated, disciplinary action may be taken, up to and including expulsion of the student.
This is indicated in other parts of Article 43, according to which disciplinary measures are not applied:
- For preparatory school students;
- For primary school students;
- For students with disabilities;
- During illness, official vacation, academic leave, sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth, child care (this applies to students and others).
Article 44 specifies the legal status of parents or guardians arising within the framework of educational activities. Part 4 of this article identifies a number of responsibilities.
Namely:
- Providing the opportunity to receive secondary education for children under 18 years of age. A norm of similar content is found in Article 63 of the RF IC.
- Following the established internal regime and other rules of the educational institution (school, gymnasium, boarding school, etc.). This also applies to the rules that determine the schedule of classes.
In other words, parents or guardians are obliged to ensure that their child attends classes. Exceptions are those cases when there is a justified reason for skipping. In such a situation, parents must promptly inform the school administration.
As for the form of information and the procedure for notifying the administration, it should be specified in the school charter.
The charter needs to be studied: in rare cases, it states how many missed classes can serve as a reason for the student’s expulsion from the institution, and the form and application form may also be indicated.
If the Charter does not contain such details, then it is permissible to use a classic, generally accepted model.

I take responsibility for the life and health of the student.

Grounds for dismissal
The reasons for the dismissal of a serviceman from the ranks of the Russian army or from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are regulated by Article 51 of Federal Law No. 53. To terminate a contract early, a serviceman must indicate in his dismissal report one or several reasons that do not allow him to continue to fulfill his service obligations in full:
- the impossibility of further residence in the area for one of the serviceman’s family members due to medical conditions and unsuitable climatic conditions;
- transfer of the second spouse for work to another area;
- the need for constant care for a close relative due to disability, which will be confirmed by an appropriate medical report;
- the need to care for a minor child due to the death of the second spouse;
- insufficient material support, which does not allow the serviceman to fully support his family.
If the serviceman can confirm the reason indicated in the report, then the higher command does not have the right to reject it. In the absence of evidence or when providing documents that do not have legal force, the unit commander may not satisfy the citizen’s demands for early termination of the contract.

How to write an explanatory note to a teacher, class teacher, or school principal about a child’s absence from school: rules
Parents often have to bring explanations to the school because students missed lessons.
Children often miss lessons for various reasons, both valid and unjustified. An explanatory document form filled out by parents (guardians) about a student’s failure to attend classes is a documentary explanation of his misconduct due to valid circumstances.
The document is filled out according to the same rules as shown in the “How to write?” section of this article. An explanation is filled out manually on sheet A4 addressed to the teacher, class leader or head of the school institution. But even if the application form is not followed, then this is not a problem, since the teacher knows that the student missed classes with the knowledge of his parents, and did not skip classes of his own free will.

Form (form - template)
You can download a template (form) of the application, but you will have to make even more corrections to it than compiling it yourself “by hand” in any (free) form, focusing on the samples presented below.
Sample (about the absence of a child for 1 day)
Sample (about the child’s absence for several days)
What options are there for filing a child’s absence from an educational institution?
There are three main ways to write a form about a student’s upcoming absence from classes:
- Filling out a completed form at school;
- Filling out a printed version of the application at home;
- Handwritten document.
Usually parents choose the first two options; they write a statement addressed to the director, and the children must submit it to the administration, and not to the hands of teachers or other school staff.
According to Article 28 of Federal Law No. 273 and the Law “On Education”, the school has the right to independently develop and adopt rules and regulations, in connection with which an application form for the absence of a child , so it is worth contacting the administration of the educational institution in advance and finding out all the nuances.
For example, some schools, due to established internal routines and static nature, do not accept handwritten applications.
List of valid reasons that can be indicated in the application
A statement that a student will be absent from an educational institution for a certain period of time is issued in the following cases:
- has a medical exemption. It is given to schoolchildren who are sick or have an appointment with a doctor or for examination. The next day, the child will have to bring paper from the medical institution, a certificate from the hospital, or another document confirming absence from school;
- caught a cold, is not seriously ill;
- is engaged in scientific or other important activities. The state supports children's professional achievements. But they are not completely exempt from classes.
In addition, for good reason, children may be absent from class if:
- engage in science, research, technology;
- have creative talent;
- seriously engage in sports, have special merits to the fatherland;
- have a high level of intellectual development.
Also, the school director and teachers have the right to dismiss children from classes who:
- are on academic leave;
- care for a newborn;
- are on maternity leave.
Remember: legal representatives fill out not only the absence form, but also attach supporting documents to it.
In addition, such paper is issued if the student:
- absent from school due to family reasons;
- goes on vacation with family, to funerals, weddings, in case of parental divorce.
Dismissal procedure
The procedure for dismissal is strictly regulated. Each of the parties between whom the contract was signed must comply with the norms provided for by law. The dismissal of a serviceman is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- the serviceman submits a report;
- the certification commission examines the reason for dismissal and makes a preliminary decision, which the unit commander can adhere to;
- if the commander approves the serviceman’s report, then an order is issued to terminate the contract;
- All necessary documents are prepared, including making an entry in the employment record;
- A full settlement with the citizen is carried out, including the issuance of all documents and funds.
It is worth considering that if the dismissal procedure is delayed or the report itself is rejected, then the serviceman has the right to sue. There is also the possibility of contacting various labor authorities or the prosecutor's office.
