[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry your daughter is feeling unhappy. We switched our daughter to a new school in 6th grade It was hard at first. The school was wonderful and actively engaged in her adjustment to a new environment. We did hear from her homeroom teacher (by telephone, email and during the fall conferences) about how our daughter was interacting with the other girls socially while at school. Our daughter also had occasional lunch dates with the school counselor and a few other new girls to check-in throughout the year. The adjustment definitely took until about spring break for my daughter to feel like she had good friends. For the first 6 months, she did weekend activities (movies, etc) with her old friends so she didn't feel lonely. She still has sleepovers with old friends occasionally, but is quite happy now at her new school.  Maybe you could talk to her homeroom teacher and see what the teacher observes while your daughter is at school? Maybe she seems happy while at school? I found it very reassuring to hear from the teachers that my daughter was smiling, happy and a sought after friend. It just takes time! Good luck. [/quote]
