Good Morning
My son forgot give me the letter from his school.
I opened it and and it said that kids are not allowing to leave for May's holiday!!
I phoned the head teacher this morning and she explained that it is from Scottish Executive states taht permission for family holidays in term time can only be granted.
In the letter mention:
1. where the family holiday is important to the wellbeing and cohesion of the family, following Serious or terminal illness, bereavement or other traumatic events.
2. Where evidence is provided by an employer that leave cannot be accommodated during school Holidays without significatn conseqences.
As the holiday falls during term time, and as your request does not comply with these circumastances, it is not possible to approve the leave.
My husband is leaving his job in March and start new job with two self employer as they are his friend, they set up a new business last year and they were so busy and don't have time off for their holiday.
Head teacher advise me to ask new job to write and explain that my husband cannot get off in Summer holiday because he is working through the summer to give two friend to have their holiday.
Oh dear why it never smooth problem. No way we cancel our holiday!! As everything had been paid for.
So I will tell my husband to see his friend and write a letter to head teacher about new job.
I feel a bit upset this morning.
But I hope it is sort out soon.
I wonder about your kids, are they allowing off school in USA?
