When one or both parents will attend a school event
In this case, you want to tell the teacher whether you can attend a school event such as a parent-child field trip or Parents’ Day. If an attendance confirmation form is provided, just fill out the form and hand it in. If there is no form, you can use the renrakucho to inform the school whether you will attend. The following model shows an example of a message informing the school that one or both parents will attend a school event.
