Emailing admissions about lack of honors courses

So I submitted my application back before the priority deadline for interviews, and I realized that there might be a part of my application that could put me at a disadvantage in the application reviewing process. I go to a small international school outside of the states, and my grade consists of ~30 kids, so during my freshman and sophomore year we did not have any access to honors courses at all. I thought that I wrote this into my additional info section, but somehow it completely escaped my mind as I went over my app in the days leading up to its submission.

I’m guessing that they might be able to that we don’t offer honors classes prior to starting the IBDP based on my transcript/class size (they have also admitted a student from out school previously), so I’m not quite sure if this constitutes an email to admissions to clarify this situation. What do you think I should do?

The admissions people are grouped by region. So there is one person assigned to your region, and will likely be reading your application. This person will know all the nuances of each of the schools in his/her territory. You might want to read your high school profile and see if this is mentioned already. The profile is what the admissions officers read to understand your high school and workload in context.
