CHS Parent Connection
The CHS Parent Listserv facilitates CHS-related
communication through the use of email.
The listserv enables quick and broad dissemination of messages to ensure
that families are well-informed in a timely manner without being inundated with
email.
To Submit a Message to the CHS
Parents Listserv
1) Write
an email message just as it is to be posted on the listserv.
2) Ensure
the subject line is descriptive. The
string “[CHS-Notice]” appears at the beginning of the subject line.
3) Email
the message to chs-parents@listserv.csd509j.net
.
4) The
Listserv Moderator reviews the message for approval under the Listserv
Guidelines within 48 hours.
5) Note
that the posting shows the submitter’s email address as the FROM address. Replies
are directed to the submitter’s email address automatically.
6) Messages
that are not approved by the moderator can be appealed to the CHS
Administration for distribution approval.
Guidelines for Message Approval
As messages are written for distribution on the CHS
Parents Listserv, it is important to keep in mind a balance of providing useful
information and inundating parents with too much email. Whenever possible, combine messages into one
submission instead of sending multiple emails, avoid sending large attachments
and use cues in the subject line to help readers determine if a message is
pertinent. The Listserv is useful to
notify the parent community about the beginning of a new activity but should
not be used to send regular announcements of meetings which are better served
with a smaller distribution list.
Note that the Listserv is not the only mechanism for
communication within CHS. There is a
Monthly Newsletter, daily announcements as well as distribution of flyers
through the main office. Contact Sherry
Faller Sherry.Faller@corvallis.k12.or.us
for more information on other communication methods.
Messages must:
·
be related to CHS events and activities
·
have a descriptive subject line
(recommend use of specifics e.g.“For Seniors”, “Apr 22 Band Concert”,
“Financial Aid”)
·
meet CHS and CSD509J policies for
Electronic Communication Distribution
Messages must not:
·
be used for acknowledgment and
recognition
·
promote businesses
·
specifically name students or provide student’s
personal email addresses without teacher and administrative approval
·
be
used as a regular announcement mechanism for a group, club, team, etc.
·
contain any advocacy for political
campaigns
