OP,
I would not worry at all about this. Your state has compulsory attendance beginning at age 7, your dd is only 5 or 6?
there will be no repercussions for this.
she is not even mandated by law to be in school yet.
just tell the teacher you are going, keep it short and simple.
and most of all ENJOY!!"
This is exactly what I was thinking. In our state (MA) kindergarten is not required so there are no rules regarding how many absences you can have. My DD missed 3 weeks in kindergarten for Disney, St John & Mexico and the teacher had no problem with it. Their only rule is that they do not give make up work. We just brought some work books on the plane & worked on her reading & math skills. Last year she was in 2nd grade. I asked the secretary how many days she could miss. She told me that "around 15" the principal will start asking questions but that they probably wouldn't tell you couldn't go somewhere. We pulled my DD & DS (he's in kindergarten) out for 12 days for vacations this past year & they had no problem at all with it. Her teacher's only request was that "she have a great time and do lots of reading". So just relax & enjoy!
