So the original problem was that she was bored. I would monitor this on a weekly basis and see if the problem is solved 'enough.' I think you need to keep the teacher in the loop so that after about a month, she has some idea if it's working. Of course, perhaps it will work and wouldn't that be wonderful, but I wouldn't delay to report if it isn't working. Try to get into your mind that you aren't being 'pushy' you are helping the school to fulfill it's mission by doing your duty as a parent - which is to close the feedback loop.

It's wonderful if a child is able to behave well and make the best of things even while being unchallenged, but that child shouldn't be penalized for their good behavior - which is why parents have a duty to 'close the feedback loop' and keep their children's school informed if things are actually working or not.
