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.


  1. Create group (red button at top)
  2. Be sure of the following:
    Group email address
    @groups.sagamorehillspta.org
    Select a group type
    Email list
    View topics, Post, & Join the group
    Public
  3. Then, in the group's settings:
    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 →
    "Website: http://www.sagamorehillspta.org/groupname"
