<p>My 8th grade daughter was suspended for 4 days for drawing a heart on another girl’s locker. Will this be part of any record forwarded to colleges?</p>
<p>Nope. This is a good time to learn these lessons.</p>
<p>I am so relieved I could cry. Thank you!</p>
<p>Even though eighth grade disciplinary actions are not reported to colleges, you might want to see what you can find out about the details of this incident. If your daughter did it to harass the other girl, it might be part of a pattern of bullying – something that needs to be dealt with.</p>
<p>yes.
Was the suspension for “defacing school property” but your daughter was trying to convey something positive? Or was she involved in something not-so-naive and not-so-nice? College perceptions aside, this is an important distinction for you as a parent.</p>
