Sagamore PTA discussion groups

This page concerns the email discussion lists powered by Google Groups (provided by the Sagamore Hills PTA Google account), and shouldn't be confused with the other Sagamore discussion lists privided by Parents.

Creating a new group

There are actually 2 ways to create a group—we're going to do it through the Groups interface instead of the Admin panel.

- Be sure you're using the admin@sagamorehillspta.org Google Account (sagamorehillspta@sagamorehillspta.org won't work)
- Go to Sagamore Hills PTA's Google Groups
Create group (red button at top)
Be sure of the following:
Group email address

@groups.sagamorehillspta.org

Select a group type

Email list

View topics, Post, & Join the group

Public
Then, in the group's settings:
Non-member messages are moderated

Settings → Settings → Moderation → Moderate messages → Moderate messages from non-members of the group.

Don't force using Google Accounts

Settings → Identity → Required forms of identity → Display names only

Change where replies are sent

Setting → Email options → Post replies → To the author of the message only

Necessitates reply'ing-to-all to include the group, but otherwise, can't reply to original sender (who might not be a subscriber)

Subject prefix

Setting → Email options → Subject prefix → [groupname]

Website pointer

Setting → Email options → Email footer → Add custom footer text →
