00I don't know the appropriate level of formal politeness that is used in your country, but I'm sure that you do, so I'm just going to look at your English without suggesting any big changes.02br

00According to what you say , I should say : Dear Mr. Smith and Miss Jones ( the names of the teachers ) . But I send the letter not only to the teacher in charge of class 11A ,but also to the administration of the school . When I say" Dear sirs " I mean "Dear Mr. Smith (the teacher in charge ) and Dear Mr John and Mr Jack ( the principa

00Simple matters like this can depend very much on the country and culture that you live in. In Canada, this is a very minor matter and you would write only to the teachers involved. In fact, if the child is in high school, you don't even need to write at all. The child just does not go to school. You don't need to ask permission to be absent. 02br

00Since you would like the letter to be written in English, I must assume that you are talking about a policy of an International school, which could be run by foreigners. In that case, I think the system is not as formal as ours. I once taught at a British International school, I found its policy is rather simple, as a parent can just call a gi

00No, It's not completely like you say . Only some large schools in big cities like HCM City and Hanoi use standard leave of absence request forms which are to be filled out with signatures of students 'parents . For most of schools , especially in suburban areas and provinces , parents have to write an application for leave of absence and hand it in
