[quote=Anonymous]OP, my daughter is at Holton and she stayed in touch with her public school friends and on top of that she has outside travel sports that is another group of friends.  I made it clear that would be important and it should be for your daughter as well.

I completely understand the social issues of friends not living near each other at a private school.  It makes it tough sometimes. The problem my daughter was having was these group chats of someone wanting to do something but then a few no's would make the whole group not go. Nothing would ever get finalized.  I taught her to do one of two things to get a guaranteed plan in action:

1. Text one friend and plan an event with that one person.  Then decide between the two of you if you want to invite others.  Either all or none.  Don't make a girl feel left out.

2. If you invite a large group anywhere, set the date/time/event and just say "I hope you can all come, we will be there!"

So one time her and a friend said they were going to go to Westfields in Bethesda.  Sent out a group text and said we will be in the mall between 5-8pm.  We might go to see "____" movie at 8:10pm.  Text us if you arrive and we will meet up with you.  They ended up having 9 girls show up.  Most just last minute drop offs from parents.
