Pupil's temporary leave of absence
Pupils must attend school regularly. However, a pupil's guardian may request permission for a short, temporary absence. The guardian can submit an absence request in the browser version of Wilma (not in the mobile app). The form can be found under Applications and decisions – New application – Student's temporary absence from school.
