It is common for someone that is depressed to isolate themselves from other people.Maybe you can find her someone to talk to. It would probably be best if she can get some kind of referral to someone that is more specialized for what she needs. School employees can only do so much.

Mhmm, when people are depressed, they'll just seclude themselves for some time, so give her just that. Well, it does seem that you've done all you could, so just leave her alone, but if she needs support, help her out with that.
