ES Listserves Info

Policy:

ESs are added to 2 school listserves when selected as an ES Candidate. You must use your school assigned email address for the school listserve, not a personal email address. All ESs need to be on 2 school listserves, and must not delete their listserve membership while employed by the school:

1. ES Listserve to receive ES info by school.

2. School Parent listserve to see the information being given to your parents and to be able to pass info on to your parents without access to the listserve. Please encourage all of your families to participate in their school listserve!

Procedure to set up your account to log into the listserve:

The listserve holds all sent messages forever so they can be accessed again and again as needed. To be albe to use this feature of the listserve, each ES must set up an account with Yahoo Groups. This is outside of our school control and we cannot help with nor can we change any of the group features.

· 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. (Hint: You may have to try four or five user names before you find one that someone else hasn’t chosen already, so make it unique and also something that you wouldn’t be embarrassed for someone else to see in print… )

· Create a password you will remember.

· 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!

· If you already have a Yahoo account, just go into your preferences and an an alternate email addres (your iem email address) and you should then be able to see your school groups.

Accessing the listserve after creating an account:

In Yahoo “My Groups”, click on the listserve from the list of your groups that you wish to access.
