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
