TNS PTA List Serve Policy

Dear School Community:

Every email list needs to balance between quality and quantity. If the quality is low and quantity high, many people will develop a habit of ignoring every email from the list, or even worse, unsubscribe. This would minimize the value of the list. On the other hand, if we are too restrictive, important information might be missed.

In an effort to balance this and in response to questions and complaints about the type, length and number of emails sent through our list serve, The Neighborhood School PTA has developed the below policy.

Accepted on the list:

• Announcements from PTA committees, SLT, Title 1, Presidents or CEC
• Announcements from school/staff
• Announcements from district, DOE, SED, or USED
• TNS partner information
• TNS web updates
• Advocacy information and notices by the members of Advocacy Committee

May be worthy but not accepted on the list:

• Announcements regarding political, organizing or advocacy activity whether related to education issues or not. (Please contact the members of Advocacy Committee if you have urgent issues that you would like to share with everyone.)
• Enrichment programs or activities that are not sponsored directly by the school
• News articles
• Lost & found
• Pets for adoption
• Babysitting services
• For sale items
• Business/organization promotion (even if you work there)
• Multiple emails of the same announcement

Other ways you might consider communicating your news

• Main entry bulletin Board
• PTA bulletin board
• PTA table
• Your class email list
• PTA Discussion List (See above)

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
