October 11, 2026

Dated [date]

[Name of teacher/Principal]

[Designation]

[Name of School]

[City/ State/ Country]

Respected Madam/ Sir,

I am writing this letter to apologize for my late arrival in the school. Last night I was busy in a family event/ problem/ picnic and that’s why I couldn’t wake up when my alarm bell rang. I woke up exactly 30 minutes after that and then prepared for school very quickly.

However, I couldn’t manage to reach school on time. From the next time I will make sure that I arrive school at time and I promise to follow the school rules and regulations. I hope you will accept my excuse kind heartedly.

Thanks,

Yours Sincerely,

[Name]
