Op here. So the note could just “say students name will not be able to attend field trip. Signed, the doctor.? “

The note does not have to contain the reason why?


You don’t even need a doctor’s note. Just don’t return the signed permission slip.

If you do want to send a note, send an email to the coordinator and say your child will not be attending the trip. You don’t have to state a reason.

If they’re pushy enough to ask why (which they really shouldn’t), you can say it’s “for personal reasons.” There’s no legal requirement for them to go on a trip like this.

Op, this is public school. They cannot insist you pay to send your child on a multi day field trip. Just don’t pay for it.
