OP, I feel ya. I'm so damned excited about this school that I'm stalking my email for any communication (none so far other than the confirmation). It's a nice problem to have.

We got a welcome to our school video via email with scenes shot around the school with the students saying welcome.

I'm confused. What do you expect? They offered acceptance, I'm sure with some very nice language, you took them up on it, they said great. you want . . .what? A brass band to arrive at your door announcing how super terrific you are?

If your feelings get hurt over this you are in for a long haul.


Um, the OP is clearly super important.

CONGRATS OP on this super important accomplishment!!!!!! The welcome committee will plan a special celebration in your honor ASAP!!!!!

I understand - we were accepted to two schools. One was the traditional big envelope, with great folder etc and a smaller envelope for student with confetti etc, followed by email with video inviting to a school performance. Other school was an email which was great, but not real letter. Another email with some details and revisit info. Had everything we needed to know, but impersonal. It can feel awkward waiting to see what's next and hard not to worry that you've missed something or something lost in the mail. Relax - many going through the same thing. Agree with 16:33 - call if you like .

I don't think there was a "welcome to our school" letter till August, but there might have been a picnic or something in June?

Also, the enrollment contract due date isn't until this coming week for many schools, so perhaps the school will send something out to every new family once they actually know everyone who is enrolling.

I know some schools have events in the spring before schools let out, for all of the new students/parents in certain grades. You should feel free to call the admission office and ask about those types of events.

Between now and the binding date, you shouldn't expect too much. You're in! Just relax and enjoy for now.
