Sagamore PTA discussion groups

This page concerns the discussion groups 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.

See the Sagamore Hills Elementary Schoo PTA Google Groups for a list of current groups.

Google Groups also powers Sagamore email.

The first group was created 2014-05-06 for the garden,

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.

1. • 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
2. Create group (red button at top)
3. Be sure of the following:

   Group email address

   @groups.sagamorehillspta.org

   Select a group type

   Email list

   View topics, Post, & Join the group

   Public

4. Then, in the group's settings:

   Don't force using Google Accounts

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

   Non-member messages are moderated

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

   Setting → Email options

   Subject prefix

   Subject prefix → [groupname]

   Email footer

   Setting → Email options → Email footer

   Not sure about this yet…

   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)
