Re: emailing parents

All external communication is approved by our communication department.
Communication sends out PTA messages. We have a weekly newsletter which
contains links to PTA flyers etc. We work hard to aggregate
PTA/community messages so that parents are not bombarded by frequent
emails.=20

All parent communication is address in the BCC line. =20

Teachers can send out individual emails but are blocked from sending out
group emails to grades, schools or even the entire faculty. These
communications may only be sent by administrators or the admin support
staff. =20

This may seem obvious to most but I would recommend always using "BCC"
when sending to a large group like that.
Apart from content review and such - keeping that list somewhat
confidential can be pretty important in a broader community.

Just wondering if any of you have a policy about using school email to
send broadcast messages to parents--

do you limit who can send these messages? If so, who does?
is there an approval process for these types of messages if they come
from teachers or parents' association?=20
do you have a limit to how many and how often they can be sent?

any info is appreciated.=20
Thanks!
