Dear

I am writing to you because has an unapproved absence rate of at least 10% in this quarter. We are concerned because school is important for your child’s future.

If your child has an unapproved absence rate that is 15% or higher in a quarter,
the municipality may decide that you may not receive child and youth benefit
in a quarter.

An unapproved absence rate of 15% in a quarter is typically equivalent to 6–9 days. The total number of days varies because the total number of school days varies in each quarter. For example, 15% can be six days in the quarter that covers July to September, and nine days in the quarter that covers January to March.

It is your responsibility as parents to ensure that your child comes to school every day. Your child’s class teacher will contact you, so that together you can find a way to ensure this happens. We want to help your child to thrive and learn at school.

Yours sincerely
Where can I learn more? Contact your school if you have any questions about your child’s absence. To learn more about the rules, visit uvm.dk/fravær.
