[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They probably wanted your private school dollars, so waited until they didn't have to participate in an intervention and still get your money. I would try to get help for your dad, but also see how she does in a new environment. [/quote]

[b]It’s a private school.  They have basically zero obligation to participate in any kind of intervention or to provide any services.  They notified OP, that’s pretty much the extent of their responsibility here[/b].[/quote]

Which is why they waited until the end of the year. It says a lot about the schools administrators to delay until year end. Here's why...privates do not provide free and appropriate education with support and interventions that publics provide. Had they informed OP earlier and she opted to do private evaluations, the school would have to comply with i.e. classroom observation, communication with the private team, additional teacher input and paperwork etc. This is why they waited! Glad you're DD is out of there, OP!

Also, 6th grade is a crap age of reckoning for kids. My son's group of friends turned into brats! Seriously sarcastic little brats. DS was and still is social and non discriminatory. These brats tried very hard to get back into DSs life and for the most part he's cordial with them in HS. It gets better OP. Girls tend to feel the sting of exclusion or mean girls more intensely. It doesn't mean she's suicidal (geezus pp who said this). She may need a therapist or she may just need a chill summer with an opportunity to make a few friends. Camp, clubs or maybe reaching out to girls from her school who didn't participate in the mean girl games.

Good luck, this too shall pass. DS found his people and your DD will, too. Just best to help thicken her skin since middle and HS ebbs and flows because kids start doing things that may alienate your DD. Many of DS's friends started the experimenting at the end of freshman year. There was a quiet period and now in sophomore year he has some great new friends while still remaining friendly with old group. [/quote]
