Sagamore PTA discussion groups

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:

Don't force using Google Accounts: Settings → Identity → Required forms of identity → Display names only
Don't allow posting from the web: Information → General information → disable Allow users to post to the group on the web
Allow controlling replies: 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: Subject prefix → [groupname]
Website pointer: Email footer → Add custom footer text →; "Website: http://www.sagamorehillspta.org/''groupname''"
