Medical Condition and Documentation
Clearly state your illness and its severity without oversharing personal details. Attach a medical certificate if required by school policy. Mention if the condition is contagious to help school administration take necessary precautions for staff and student safety.
Lesson Plan and Class Coverage
Specify how your classes will be managed during absence - whether you've prepared substitute teacher notes or if colleagues will cover. Include where instructional materials can be found. This ensures continuity in student learning despite your temporary absence.
Expected Duration and Contact
Provide exact dates of absence and tentative return date. Mention your availability for urgent school matters if possible. Include alternative contact information if you'll be reachable during recovery, showing commitment to your teaching responsibilities.
