Sample application from parents to school - complaint
When writing a complaint, all the rules and requirements for writing statements are preserved, only instead of the word “Application”, the word “Complaint” is indicated in the center of the sheet. In essence, a complaint and an application are one and the same thing. It doesn’t matter what the document is called, in any case it will be accepted for consideration by the school leadership. You can file a complaint against a teacher if, for example, he insults students or uses physical punishment. Complaints are also often filed against other students if their negative behavior interferes with the educational process, offends classmates, fights, or otherwise violates the established order at school.

Appeal to the director with a request to leave the teacher
Occasionally, the opposite situations may occur, when one of the students in the class and his parents demand that the principal remove the teacher from work, and the rest of the students and parents are against such a decision. Here the director needs to study the situation in detail, since the wrong decision can affect the psychology of the students. The teacher not only teaches knowledge on the subject, but also instills aesthetic standards in students. Therefore, unfair removal of a teacher from a subject can have a negative impact on students, while shaping their worldview and fair attitude towards people.
In defense of the teacher, parents can send a collective petition to the director, asking him to keep the teacher at his previous job, citing compelling arguments in his favor.
The form of the petition does not differ from a standard letter of this kind.
Sample
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)
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.
For those who will study externally
An application for external study is drawn up according to the same principles as an application for distance learning.
First, you need to switch to family education by submitting an application to the Department of Education and the school for expulsion, then you just have to choose a new school and fill out an application for enrollment during the certification period.
On our website you can learn more about how to switch to external studies and choose an accelerated education program for your child.
Organizing home schooling can be difficult for parents, and when a student learns subjects faster than usual, it becomes even more difficult. Experienced teachers at online schools will help systematize the educational process. The format of video lectures and interactive tasks will make learning convenient and fun. And thanks to the sensitive attention and support from teachers, the child’s abilities will be fully revealed. On our service you can compare learning conditions at different schools and read reviews from parents.
