Update: I confirmed with a valued teacher that this is the firm policy, but he assured me students rarely end up marching alone. He suggested she reach out to another solo student (how do you do that?) which is a kindly-meant gesture, but my sense is my kid has zero interest in putting herself out there like that. Our situation is complicated by a third child who is currently enrolled at the school (I’m concerned about retribution for him if we make waves at this point-- maybe our cowardice is why these policies live on? FWIW, he’s bummed about this situation for his sister.) My current inclination is for us to do our own thing and let them know why she won’t be participating when the time comes, and that this policy deserves revisiting. We have a new principal, who seems pretty cool, so they may be receptive to our feedback for a change in policy.
