[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, you said that your two older kids are doing fine in this same school.[/b]
So maybe this racial bullying is not a school wide issue but just a matter of a couple of mean girls tormenting your daughter. If so, can you get in touch with their parents? 
N. Arlington area is very liberal, I am sure parents will be mortified when they hear that their children are involved in racial bullyng. They might stop their kids from bullying your daughter.
Meanwhile, you need to do something to integrated her into your school community. Perhaps you can have a party and invite her classmates? [/quote]

I believe OP said her older kids did not have this problem because they attended a different school.  The family moved between when the older two were in elementary school vs now when the younger child is in elementary school.

Yes, I agree that it sounds like a couple of bad kids, but the problem is that when the school will not address the issue of those couple of bad kids, then it is a hostile environment.  The school needs to address the problem.  This is no different than one co-worker harassing another co-worker.  Even though it is only one employee doing the harassment, if management will not address the issue, then it is a hostile environment for the employee who is being victimized.

I personally think in this instance, that trying to handle it outside the school and contacting the parents is the wrong way to handle it.  You need to work within the system to document the problems and make sure that there is a paper trail of the fact that there are problems and how the school handles it or the problem will just happen again to another child, maybe not tomorrow, but probably within the school year another child will have the same problem.  This needs to be addressed within the system and documented so that the school will learn how to properly handle such problems.[/quote]
