The note in which a parent or guardian of a pupil at a school in Cyprus justifies the child's absence in writing: the dates, the class, the reason (illness, a medical appointment or a serious family reason) and whether a doctor's certificate is attached. In a primary school, more than five days' absence for health reasons needs a doctor's certificate unless the head is satisfied otherwise. In a gymnasium or lyceum, the note is handed in on the pupil's return and within five working days at the latest, two in May and June.

Common questions
- Who justifies a pupil's absence from school in Cyprus?
- The parent or guardian, in writing, in a way that satisfies the head teacher. In a primary school, more than five days' absence for health reasons needs a certificate from the doctor who treated the child, unless the head is satisfied otherwise; for an absence of up to five days the parent tells the school the day before or on the morning of the absence. In a gymnasium or lyceum, the pupil brings the parent's note or a certificate from the treating doctor. A doctor's certificate is attached to the note.
- By when must a note justifying an absence reach a school in Cyprus?
- In a gymnasium or lyceum, the pupil brings the parent's note or the doctor's certificate on returning and within five working days at the latest; in May and June, within two working days. In a primary school, the parent tells the school about a short absence the day before or that morning, and it is best to hand in the note as soon as the child is back. If the doctor's certificate is not ready yet, hand in the note and bring the certificate as soon as you have it. Keep a copy of the note.
- What are the consequences of absences at schools in Cyprus?
- In a gymnasium or lyceum, absences count one for each teaching period and decide how attendance is graded: beyond a set number of absences the pupil is sent to re-examination in June or repeats the year. In a primary school, when a child is absent for more than five consecutive days, or fewer but at regular intervals, without a reason the head considers serious, the head notifies the District Education Office in writing at once. So every absence is best justified in writing and on time.

- Request for a certificate of studies (Cyprus)
The written request to a school in Cyprus for a copy of the leaving certificate (apolytirio), a certificate of studies with the marks for each year, or a certificate of attendance: the graduate's details as the school keeps them, the name while at school if it has changed, the year of graduation, the number of copies and the purpose. If the records are now kept elsewhere, it asks for the request to be passed on to whoever keeps them. It serves for a job, a university application or recognition abroad.
