Honestly, I wouldn't take this as an indicator that she isn't sick. Maybe just that she is glad to see you?

Her temp was around 99.4 so that is the only thing that would say that she really is sick

That temp IS enough to make some people feel crummy and if it's combined with anything else, it certainly could be. I'm not sure why you would ascertain that she is "lying."

I don't want her to miss school. It is no big deal for daycare but now that she is in the big leagues, I don't want this happening.

Oh, honey, if kindergarten is "the big leagues" this little girl is in for one heck of a time!
She's tiny and missing kindergarten isn't going to make one bit of difference in her life. And I say that as a mom with six kids -- two now in college and the youngest in kindergarten.
As an aside, I DID lie about being sick when I was a kid. Or, better said, I actually became sick because I so badly did not want to be at school. So much that I was hospitalized in 2nd grade with what was then diagnosed a "a developing ulcer." I just couldn't take the teasing and taunting (come on, a chubby, red-headed kid with glasses? I was doomed). And would do anything to stay home with my mom where it was safe.
If you really do find some kind of persistent pattern in her illnesses -- a pattern that is NOT backed up be fever or other physical causes -- you might want to see WHY she doesn't want to be in school and correct it. IMO kids are way more damaged by being forced to spend all day in traumatizing situations in the name of "education" than they are by missing some days sitting in a desk.
