[quote=Anonymous]I love how everyone says "my daughter loved SR but I guess starting a Fall sport helped!"  Duh.

The question is what does SR do for non-Fall sport kids that are new?  Do they have sister families, do they have extra curriculars, do they have clubs, do they have have things outside of the school for 9th graders?

My DD started Holton new in 9th and they had everyone either  do a fall sport or a 2 day type of day retreat before school started.  They also had a day of new 9th grade orientation for all the new girls to get to know each other and the school.  They paired us up with another family with a 9th grader and that was so nice.  We went out to dinner with them and then the girl invited her to a sleepover with some friends the first weekend.  They had some events outside of school too. A day retreat inside the school where they were put in groups of 5 and went to various locations to do fun things.   Her favorite was the Markoff's Haunted Field night.  All the 9th graders stayed after school, ate pizza and then got on a bus for the night.  The 9th grade dean put them in groups.  She was able to make a lot of different friends and form a few various friendship circles.

I am sure SR has things similar to this.  If they don't, I would recommend asking.  No girl should feel left out, let alone targeted.  Do they have advisories?  Was she paired with another 9th grader?  Somethings.

Good Luck OP - I am sure it will work out.  [/quote]
