The IEM office will automatically enroll the ESs on each
of these listserves.**
You will receive an e-mail...please don't think
that it is an advertisement and ask to be removed from the listserve. You
will not need to respond. Once enrolled, you may go to the yahoogroups
website and specify preferences as directed below.
Listserve Purpose
ESs must be sure that their families are being informed
about ALL school events. The parents best option for
receiving timely school information is their direct participation with
our school parent list serve. Any families not on the parent list serve will have to
have the information sent out by parent listserve given to them by their
ES.
-To log into the listserve options available on the website, Go to http://yahoogroups.com.
-Click on “new users ‘click here to register’”
-Sign up using a user name of your preference… I had to try
four or five before I found one that someone else hadn’t chosen, so make it
unique and also something that you wouldn’t be embarrassed for someone else to
see in print…
-Create a password. I used my school e-mail password to help
me remember what it is, but you may use whichever one you would like… you
choose.
-Be sure to remove the check mark in the “send me special
offers, promotions, etc”… unless you want them too!)
-After submitting the information, make sure that you go to
the section that says, “click here to edit your
marketing preferences” and mark as desired… be careful to do this step
or you
may be inundated with advertising!
-I am signed up for several groups and found that if I use
the same user name and password, my marketing preferences follow along to
the other
groups.
-If you click on the group name, listed under “My Groups”, you
will open a page that has a secure chat area, a section for “files” to be viewed
and downloaded, a section that shows all messages that have ever been sent to
your all ES e-mail, and many other possibilities that we have yet to explore!
This site will be for your reference only. Any e-mails will be sent to your
e-mail program. If you have any troubles, please contact IT for help with
getting your school e-mail address to come into your e-mail program. Thank you
for your cooperation! Always changing, yes, but always improving!
**If you are not signed up for the ES listserve you think you
should be on, or accidently deleted yourself and need to be readded, contact Janet
