Hi Cathy,
start a thread to find out who is near you - we also organised a get together for a couple of weeks after we arrived to put names to faces and to meet people.
People are friendly and you'll meet mums at the school too, our school seems to do a lot to bring families together, although I must admit with the exception of a couple of people most of our friends are British Expats!
Beth had a sleepover after being in school about a week and Daniel has been over to friends and has had friends over - I think sleepovers are more a girl thing?
I'm sure you're daughter will come round - is there no chance she could transfer nd complete her course here?

At first I think she expected us to forget about going, then the house went up for sale - and sold in 2 days! Now she's permanently got a face like a slapped backside.

My daughter is 10 - we are dreading the onset of puberty
She already thinks she knows it all!!!
Wait until the time gets closer to you going - she may change her mind yet!

Bloody cold winters though
him to go for 3 nights up in the Dells right after that. We stayed at Treasure Island... 30 minutes after we arrived - thankfully at the only indoor water park in Wis Dells - it started pouring down! 
It continued until 30 minutes (I kid you not) before we left. So we obviously spent most of our pool time in the private hotel pool.There were people getting bussed in to go to the resort during the day, so obviously they had to go to the public area. So we just stayed in the private area. Unless hubby or I really wanted to go down a slide and we'd all go.
Well worth staying in that particular place though.
