You know, I bet you can get walkie talkies that would cover that range. Esp if it's flat.

I think you've done all that needs to be done (although I like the idea of taking her to choose something bright to wear). She's twelve and ought to be more than sensible and able enough to cope with a 5km ride between school and home. Surely this a much less scary thought than the fact she'll be driving in four years time...
