I personally wouldn't allow my (nonexistant) daughter to take a day off of school to have fun within her first semester of high school. The first semester can be hard to judge as far as which day will have an important lesson or not, so she would be more likely to miss something important.
Also, when you enter highschool you're often bombarded by freedom. I think that it may be best to set some ground rules now, and allow her to grow toward the ability to take a day off for fun. If the relationship between you and your daughter is as good as it seems, then trust her to not go against your word.
