The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "said" remains unchanged.
- The modal "would" is changed to its present form "will".
- The third-person pronoun "she" is changed to the first-person pronoun "I".
- The time expression "that day" is changed to "today".
- The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.
Therefore, the correct direct form of the given sentence is: She said, "I will not be coming to the school today."
