January 23, 2024 Dear Ma’am/Sir: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about my son MARVEN E. PALACA, and request a temporary leave of absence from school on his behalf. Recently, he has been struggling with heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and mental health challenges that have significantly impacted his ability to focus on academics and attend classes. We have consulted with a mental health professional who advised him to take some time off to prioritize his well-being and undergo the necessary treatment and therapy. I believe that this break will allow him the opportunity to address his mental health concerns and return to school with renewed energy and focus. We understand the importance of maintaining consistent attendance, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or his absence may cause. He is committed to making up for missed assignments and ensuring a smooth transition upon his return. We kindly request your understanding and support during this challenging time. We’re more than willing to provide any necessary documentation from his healthcare provider to validate his situation. Please let us know if there are any additional steps we need to take to formalize this request. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. Sincerely, MARVEN E. PALACA Student NOLAN G. PALACA Parent
