I wouldn't be that keen on it. It could look like favoritism or like avoidance. The psychologist should also have better boundaries and actually take a lunch break themselves or choose a small number of students who are her special pals who hang out in her office with her on her / their breaks.

It sounds like a fantastic situation for the kids, and as a parent I'd be thrilled my kid connected with an adult in the building enough to be comfortable doing that.

Both of my kids eat in a teacher's classroom (different teachers.) It is quiet, less chaotic (lots of fights occur during lunch), and they hang out/eat/do homework. I don't care.

Totally normal for kids in higher grades to look for quiet places like a teachers room, library, etc for quiet lunches. Schools around here are large and some kids need a break.

Your kid has friends and a quiet place to have lunch? Why is this of concern??

I think it's very nice of her to send you a message just in case. Very thoughtful.

OP if you want to prepare for next year, think about suggesting your child invite new kids along every once in a while, so the group doesn't become static or non-inclusive due to the outside location.

I cannot imagine what problem there could be with this. Sounds like the kids solved a problem and she's fine with it.

Why?
Because a psychologist is a doctor.
A school psychologist is a master’s level position. A clinical psychologist is a PhD level position and uses Dr..

I'd not have a problem with it, but I'd gently ask your daughter about it.

No they don’t have to be. They can have a masters.
If she is not, say, over 60 and introduces herself as "Ms. X" it's likely that she has a Specialist degree which is sometimes referred to as "Masters plus 30 (credits)". Roughly equal to a Masters in Psychology and a Masters in Education, plus a full year internship.

Hopefully you're kidding. If not you're clueless.

That’s beyond stupid.
+1. Looking for problems where they don’t exist. I’d have no concerns and talk to my kid about their great idea to find another space to eat.
