If we are off site for a “field trip” we are supposed to inform them as well.
We have to tell the parents verbally or in writing. OP is doing it in writing and having he parents sign as a paper trail so no parent could come back and say they didn't know and because she's doing it daily. If I was in her shoes I would do the same thing. Paper trails are important, they help prevent miscommunication and forgetfulness.
