[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. She needs to stick up for herself and tell the kids "I TOLD the principal I didn't see anything."

And your claim she doesn't know anyone at recess holds no water - did she start at this school yesterday? It's been over half a year of school - surely she's met people. [/quote]

Nope she’s been here her whole time. There are 6 classes and nearly [b]everyone in her class is new to her[/b] except for some of the boys. I’m not sure if [b]the other kids are new students or just were in other classes in previous grades.[/b] It’s recess she doesn’t have friends at. For lunch she can at least talk to her friends in the lunch line sometimes. It seems dumb to me you can’t choose where you sit but I’m sure they had issues with open seating. [/quote]

You just said it again - that the kids are new students and everyone in her class is new to her. But she's spent ALL YEAR with these kids - if she hasn't made friends to play with at recess then she needs more time do build friendships. Nobody who started in August/September is NEW anymore. It's the END of the school year. Regardless, you don't stay home unless you're sick. [/quote]

DP. Stop. OP obviously meant the other kids were new to her DD at the beginning of the year. And 5th is a tough year to create friendships with other kids if you don't have some kind of existing knowledge, and even worse if the kids already have established friend groups and therefore little motivation to let someone else in.

Emotional/mental health is a perfectly good reason to stay home for one day, especially in a situation like this.[/quote]
