Warm boots THAT ARE NOT UGGS. Uggs don't have proper traction for icy/windy weather.

Heavy socks, lots of them. More than 2-3 weeks worth. If her feet do end up getting wet, she'll have plenty and won't need to do laundry so often.

I like to wear really thin gloves under my heavier gloves when it gets really cold. Scarves, scarves, and more scarves. Pashminas are great because they keep you reasonably warm when worn like a scarf but can take the chill off if your daughter is in a cool classroom.

Long sleeved shirts to layer under everything in various colors. They could be the waffle-cut "long underwear" style but I find those don't keep me much warmer.

It's not super trendy or fashionable (and wasn't even at the time) but when I was in college in a windy place my parents got me a Columbia jacket that covered my butt. I was mighty appreciative the first time I fell on my ass on a student walkway and my butt didn't get wet.

Really, she's going to need things to layer with, so that she's not frying when inside but can handle the cold outside.
