<p>I am a freshman and I am going to switch school next year. Now, I am worried about not getting the classes I want in the new school. My dad suggested sending an email to the school.
How should we start the letter? And what should we include in it? (I can't completely trust my dad to do this because last time I asked him to write a letter to my teacher and he wrote a bunch of off topic things. The teacher asked the parents to write about their child (what are they good at, what are they bad at) and my dad wrote about how he is great teacher, etc.)
You can also give me some additional suggestions of what should we do before switching school.</p>
<p>Is the school in the same general area as you are at right now? If so, you should also try to get a face-to-face meeting with a counselor or administrator. Or at least five then a phone call. An email is fine, but more direct contact would be better IMO. I agree that it is best that you write it, and not a parent. It shows that you have initiative. Is this a public or private school you’re transferring to?</p>
<p>I would start it out by saying “To Whom it May Concern” if you do not have a particular administrator you are addressing it to. Just explain your situation and express your concerns about classes. You could include previous academic achievements and ensure them that you would perform well in the classes you want to be in. Come off as sincere, earnest, and driven. Good luck!</p>
<p>It’s a public school, and it’s far away. How should I include in my letter and how should I start it? Also, who should I send it to?</p>
<p>I think it would be most appropriate for you to send the letter to the head of guidance. say that you are switching schools next year, and ask about registering with the new school and picking classes for next year. like Reedite said, explain your concern about classes. he/she should get back to you with the information you need, or at the very least direct you to someone who can help you.</p>
<p>So it would be better if I send the letter instead of my dad?</p>
<p>^definitely</p>
<p>Yeah, for sure.</p>
