Hi all. Thank you so much for your help! I responded to principal with a paraphrase of some of HK's post. And he responded with 'fine if you want to attend you can, makes no difference to me.' When we can't attend DS will be in the group supervised by the teacher and she will personally be given the epi-pen and instructed again prior to the trip. So whew... I am just kind of embarrassed I didn't push for this before. Honestly, I was never permitted to chaperone any trip prior to about a week ago (end of second grade) so I had not truly realized that DS is just sent off with some random mom volunteer who may not even know DS has a life threatening allergy! It really hit me at the field trip that I was finally permitted to chaperone that this was not a very safe arrangement.
