Does her school have a camp for incoming 6 graders? That helped a lot.
My son had a rough time at the beginning of the year. We finally figured out that the poor kid was really hungry (he didn't eat lunch until 1pm!) and thought he'd get in trouble if he was caught eating between classes. He would constantly complain of stomach aches, etc. and swore up and down that no one was picking on him. That took about 2 months to figure out. Finally, the counselor told him that if any teacher said anything to tell them to talk to her. Problem solved! But man, I felt so helpless.
