[CCHS-2013] Welcome to CCHS Class of 2013 ListServe!

[Pat Bentley]

Dear CCHS Class of 2013 Families,



Welcome to the CCHS Listserv!  We are glad to have you on our distribution
list and are certain that you will find the information to be helpful and
interesting.  Please remember that CCHS *does not* snail-mail newsletters or
notices, so this is your lifeline to the school.



Since you are receiving this email, you are now subscribed to the
service.  When
you see future requests to subscribe to the CCHS Listserv, you can ignore
them as you are successfully subscribed.  You can help us to further build
the system by encouraging other CCHS parents to subscribe as well. Also,
should you ever want to unsubscribe from this list or change your email
address, there are links at the end of each email that you receive from this
system.



Finally, should you suddenly *stop* receiving communications from us, please
let us know, as we have seen many issues over the years:

-          Mailbox full

-          Spam blocker (common with AOL)

-          Internet Service Provider (ISP) has ongoing problems

-          Large ISPs (Comcast, Verizon) block our domain  (usually a few
times a year but fixed same-day)



Throughout the year you will be hearing from a variety of sources within the
CCHS community.  Each CCHS author can be easily identified by having 'CCHS'
or for this class, ‘CCHS-2013’ in his/her sender address.   Please note that
all CCHS lists are *confidential* and are used exclusively for
school-related communications.  Our goal across the system is to send you an
email only when necessary.  Our hope is that you find the information to be
timely, helpful and informative, and not overwhelming.



The following will help you to meet some of the folks on the other end of
the keyboard:



'Moderators' are the volunteers who coordinate the communications for each
individual class.  You will receive class-specific bulletins and
announcements only for the class to which you have subscribed, not all four
classes at CCHS.   Your Class Moderator will keep you informed of class
activities, trips, meetings and other pertinent information.  Notices can be
sent only by the designated Moderator and is done at their discretion.  Class
and Parent Advisors work closely with the Moderators to keep the information
pipeline current and relevant.



Each weekday afternoon you will receive 'The Daily Bulletin' from Martha
Hammer, CCHS Administrative Secretary.  These daily announcements are very
brief bullet-type statements that are read to all students the following
morning.  It will include items such as meetings for the day, schedule
changes, club and activity information, etc.  The feedback from parents in
prior years was that the Daily Bulletin became an invaluable tool in most
households and was an excellent method to keep parents apprised of
oft-changing school activities. These announcements are short and sweet and
take only a minute to review.



Monthly, you will receive the CCHS newsletter from Louisa Coleman, CCHS
Senior Administrative Secretary to the Principal.  Louisa compiles and
distributes information from a variety of sources such as Peter Badalament,
the PTG, the Guidance Department, and the School Nurse.  She also captures
calendar changes and reminders, looming deadlines, information from the
School Committee and much more.  Many parents find it helpful to print the
newsletter and read it at their leisure.  If you wonder why you aren't
hearing about SAT test dates, exam schedules, the driver's education
program, policy changes or other critical tid-bits, make sure you have read
the newsletter!



On an as-needed basis, you will also receive time-sensitive notes or
announcements from Peter Badalament or other members of the Administrative
Staff.  When you receive one of these, please read it immediately - it is
guaranteed to include something that the Administration wants to get into
your hands NOW.



Finally, the List Administrator coordinates the system and is ready to help
parents navigate the info overload that begins in High School.  Our mission
is to replace the notices that no longer come home in back packs and give us
all a heads-up for when we're expected to somehow have all the answers. None
of this could be done without the tech duo of Richard Wells and Gene Warfel,
who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep us all afloat.   If you have
comments or questions about the Listserv, please don't hesitate to ask a
question at CCHS_Lists at verizon.net.



On behalf of the entire Listserv team, we welcome you....or welcome you
back.....to the on-line communications systems at CCHS.



Sincerely,



Alan Budris

CCHS List Administrator
