Subscriptions to Listserve

Many participants have been deleted because their email systems cause messages to them to "bounce". After a few "bounced" messages, our system deletes the address from the listserv. It is automatic, and you will receive no notice.

Check to be sure your inbox has capacity for incoming messages and that your server has not been "down" for a period of time.

If you do not receive a listserv message in 10 days or so, you have probably been deleted. Please check for and fix any problems on your end before asking to be reinstated. If your district takes your server down over the summer, you may wish to switch your subscription to another account. Thanks!
