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. 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
    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
    Email footer
    Not sure about this yet…
    Change where replies are sent
    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)
