Excuse Letter for not Attending School Picnic

Letters Kate

Schools arrange extracurricular or co-curricular activities only to incite the spirit of purposeful recreation in young students’ hearts and make them hale and hearty. This motivation further helps them craft their individualities to the best of their ability and makes them productive and healthy citizens. Alongside dozens of other perks, students make beautiful, everlasting memories with their friends and learn new things in a fun way under the supervision of their experienced teachers. 


Students will remain productive when they realize they are expected to have certain values while having fun and that there’s a designated time and etiquette for it. This could be a very passive way of teaching students discipline and taming them.

A picnic party could also have some educational benefits for students. Such is the intention of a picnic party. Students are meant to make it on the day and enjoy the lunch the school provides alongside other entertaining pursuits. Hence, picnic events have gravity and solemnity in the eyes of the school administration, and they can be a lifetime learning and growing opportunity for individuals. 


Taking leave or being absent without any prior notice is not taken for granted by any institute. The school administration takes such events no less than an academic one in terms of their seriousness. The principal inquires about students who act irresponsibly or show carelessness in the administration office. In some educational institutions, extracurricular and co-curricular events also have some weight on GPA. 


If you think you cannot make it to the event, you should send an excuse letter to your Principal informing them of your possible absence. You should craft this letter carefully so it gets accepted. Below is the draft of an excuse letter for not attending the school picnic so you can have an idea. 

Sample Letter

To,

The Principal,

XYZ School,

[School Address]

Subject: Excuse letter for not attending the school picnic due to my health crisis

Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to you with embarrassment and guilt as I cannot attend the school picnic arranged on [DATE]. I am a student in grade 9, and my class in charge is Ms. ABC. 

Only yesterday, my stomach started having cramps, and I started throwing up quite badly. My parents took me to a nearby hospital, and we found out that I was suffering from food poisoning. The doctor has asked me to be on a strict diet and avoid unnecessary activities because of the drowsiness I am having. I am advised to rest in bed for three days. Given this prescription, I don’t think being a part of the school picnic is in my best interest. 

I apologize for not being a part of this much-awaited fun activity. It would be kind of you to accept my letter of excuse.

Yours sincerely,

XYZ
