Maybe you could talk to the school about this. She has issues, it may be the situation that caused her to come and live with you. They have counselors that can deal with this type of stuff...if you show that you are trying to get her to go, that you have gone to the school, spoken with the teacher and administration, then they can't say you don't care or you didn't try...they may be able to help....

The first step in tackling truancy is for the school and the parents to agree that there is a problem that needs to be dealt with. They then need to discuss with the child why they are truanting.
Absence from school will require a discussion with the family to understand their viewpoint. Parents and teachers need to work with the child to get them back into school as quickly as possible. Underlying problems, such as reading difficulties, may need special help. Parents and teachers will need to keep an eye on whether the child is actually attending school.The school's education welfare officer or educational psychologist may be able to help. Your doctor or general practitioner will be also be able to offer help and advice. Where there are continuing difficulties with the child's feelings or behaviour, or where there are family problems, your doctor may recommend a referral to the local child and adolescent mental health service. Here, the specialist team includes child psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychotherapists and nurses.

Why are you allowing a 9 year old to have a choice of going to school or not. Drive her to school and walk her in there if you have to , to be sure she stays there. Then go to the Principal's office and voice your concerns about your granddaughter. Make her go!! Education is one of the most important things that you can give a child.
