Does my dd need ‘closure’?

[CobaltBottles]

I have done other threads basically dd is in year 1 and moving to a different primary school for numerous positive reasons and is looking forward to it But naturally apprehensive.
Anyway she’s had a visit round new school and was having a settling in session today but she’s been too unwell. Tomo is last day at current school and she’s too unwell to go in and say bye.
She will see some of her friends for play dates but not all and she’s not had chance to say bye to staff do I need to worry that this might affect her starting new school if she’s not said a proper goodbye to the last?!
Thanks

Bump

I wouldn't have thought so, if I'm honest. She will probably forget most of them quite quickly!
If you/she is worried about this, maybe she could send them a letter, or card, to arrive after the Easter holiday just saying "goodbye" and thanking them for being fab classmates.

Bump for morning crowd

I went to different schools in 3 different countries and never had 'closure'.

I'm sure she will be fine.

Realistically these are your thoughts, not your dd’s. If she hasn't mentioned going to say goodbye, then it probably doesn't worry her. She’ll still be seeing some of her friends for playdates and that's what matters.

No. She's tiny. This is your emotions not hers. At the moment she can be convinced that the moon is made of green cheese, should you so wish. It will be fine. The less fuss the better.

I work in a primary school and most people don't do a big goodbye when they move their children to another school.
I understand what you mean though, in similar circumstances I would like them at least to say goodbye to teachers and perhaps take in a bunch of flowers etc? Maybe she could write a card and send it to them?
