Leave Application to Principal by Teacher (15+ Samples)

When a school teacher needs a leave, he/she should get permission from the principal. The best way to write a leave application is to keep it short, formal, and professional without grammatical and spelling mistakes.  

If you are taking a planned leave for any vacation or family functions it is better to intimate before the leave date. For other reasons, like urgent work and illness, you can request leave on the morning of the date. 

Hence there is no specified format for applying for leave for school teachers in India, you can use any format that fulfills your request. Below are a few leave application formats that teachers can use to apply for leave.
