Our TA assignment came in the mail yesterday from Williamsburg.

It's also a way to flex residency requirements. I bet they follow up on the returned "no longer at this address" items.

Now, why they don't just put it in Parentvue the same day they mail it all, I have no idea.

This. They’re verifying residency.

For residency fraud reasons?

The confusion is not rooted in privilege.

APS sends a paper document for one piece of needed info but uses Parentvue for other needed info. Why discrepancy?

Well now they are sending class assignments via ParentVUE as well. So the PP screaming privilege can now step aside.

Of course it’s better to do it both ways. But the fact that the OP doesn’t understand that some people don’t have reliable Internet access is indeed a privilege or maybe just ignorance.

We got something from DD’s middle school but apparently DS’s elementary will only use electronic notifications.

Yes they do follow up on mail. We had not updated our address immediately with APS in the hecticness of a move and we were in same school zone and had forwarded mail so it didn’t seem super urgent-but APS saw that and reached out quickly.

We use it to prove residency at the FCPS school where I work.
