When writing a sick leave letter application to a principle, you should use a standard letter format.
(Most of these recommendations also apply if you are writing a leave application for school for any other reason)
Your aim will be to advise the Principal of an absence due to illness, and request his/her approval of this sick leave.
Here are some details you must include in your sick leave application letter:
The date you are writing
Name of Principal
Name of School
Address of School
Salutation: "Dear Sir (or Madam):
Re: Student’s name, then grade or class name
Your request, and the explanation for it.
If you wish, a suggestion about the missed class work.
Contact information in case the principal needs to talk to you.
Your thanks for his/her attention to your request.
Your signature
The following sample will give you an idea of how this will look:
02 May 2011 (change date as appropriate)
Mr./Ms./Mrs. ____ , Principal

Dear Sir/Madam:
Re: (Name of Student), Grade (?) or Class (?)
I am writing to inform you that my son (student’s name) is ill and will not be able to attend school for (number of days). Please grant him leave from classes for this period of time while he recovers.
If we need to make arrangements for homework to cover the work he will miss during this time, you can contact me at (telephone number) and I would be pleased to discuss this with you.

This should be all the information you need to provide. The inclusion of your telephone number is an extra courtesy and will ensure that the school principal can reach you if there is any need to discuss your application for sick leave or any other issues concerning your child.
You can start with the address, and then continue.
