Correct spelling is “absent.”
Due to is more formal than because.
However, in the context of this sentence, which sounds like you’re sending an email to your daughter’s school, I would use due to.
Both are grammatically correct though

Both are acceptable and are grammatically correct. 2 is more formal. If you wanted to be more informal you could say “My daughter’s going to be absent tomorrow because of a family matter”. If you wanted to be even more informal you could replace “going to” with “gonna”. This of course should only be used when speaking though.
