[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am up for emailing the teacher/counselor, but I'm kind of at a loss for the best way to phrase it. I don't want to seem like I am attacking the other girls or being dramatic. Can anyone suggest how to phrase it? I don't know the teacher very well yet. She has a good reputation at the school but is younger (6th year teaching) and single/childless.

FWIW, my DD had a fantastic group of girls in her class last year (same school) - NO cliques - but sadly they ALL have other teachers this year (5 total.)[/quote]

I would be direct- explain what is happening without too much emotion and that it's upsetting your daughter. I would ask the teacher or counselor if they could monitor the situation and lthat you will check back in within a few weeks. 
We had a situation last year where a kid was really unkind to DS. It was almost, but not quite, bullying. I just asked the teacher to keep an eye out--but like you, I didn't want to go over the top. It got better (not perfect) as the school year went on- it helped that the teacher worked with my DS on how to handle himself and stand up for himself. That was a longer lasting effect than simply correcting the other boy.
