Hi (Managers Name),

I hope you are doing fine.

This email is a formal request for half-day leave on (date) morning. I have to attend my (daughters/son’s) parents-and-teachers meeting (PTM) at (name of the school). Since the schedule of the PTM is from 10 AM to 12 PM, it will be difficult for me to reach the office in the usual morning time.

Moreover, the school has made it mandatory for both parents to attend PTM; therefore, it would not be possible for me to skip it. I too believe these meetings are crucial to discuss my child’s development, progress, and shortcomings directly with their teacher.

I assure you that I will be back in the office by lunch break and make sure that all my pending work is completed by the days end.
