If people at the school don't already know, then it may not be necessary for you to tell the teacher, especially if she was adopted as an infant or very young.
Just FYI--I work at an elementary school and we adopted our nephew--he was 6 1/2 at the time. No way people at school could not figure out he was adopted!!
He is fine with it--it's not a constant topic of conversation. Things worked out really well for us, because the behavior specialist is also a family therapist who had worked with foster families in the past. She was his therapist (I contracted privately outside of school) for a year. It was great that she could see him during the school day casually, and she knew his teachers. Made the therapy very effective. They even went out to lunch during the school day several times.
With your love and care, I think your dd will do great.
