Letter came home w/course changes

[Anonymous]

My 6th grader came home yesterday with a list of courses for next year, and there have been changes since registration. I approve of the changes, which are mainly things we requested but were previously denied (like Global Humanities), but I found it odd that this form letter was how they let us know. Is this normal that they’d make a change and this is how we’d be notified?

Yes, I think that's pretty standard. It probably means there were additional sections opened up, so there was a seat for your child. But also keep in mind nothing's set in stone yet.

What school?

How else would you be notified?

One other thing that can happen is that when class schedules get passed out, you find out about changes.

I guess I thought they might notify us personally, since it is something we had discussed. This was more of a form letter everyone got listing course selections for next year. I almost missed the changes.

As in, it was not a letter that said “we have made a change...”

+1 it means they didn't forget your request. OP I have worked in a HS and scheduling is incredibly complicated. Given school staffing, budgets and time constraints I am in awe of how it is done. I can understand the school not sending additional, individual communication on top of the schedules, which can speak for themselves.
