GMS Email List Membership
GMS values positive two-way communication between families and the school. Effective communication is necessary for the student’s success, therefore GMS maintains grade level and all school email lists to facilitate communications. As members of our mailing lists, ex: 20XX-families@girlsms.org, parents/guardians have access to important communications related to school business and events like Back to School Night, grade level field trips, curriculum updates from teachers, and more.
As part of the enrollment process, we automatically add the email address provided during the admission process to the appropriate grade level email list. If for any reason you or any of the student’s parents/guardians do not have access to our email lists, which are managed through Google Groups, please notify the GMS Technology Department and/or try the following changes to your Google Group settings:
1. Go to https://groups.google.com while logged in to your Gmail account.
2. Near the top, and on the right, look for the gear symbol. Click it and select "Return to Classic Google Groups." You will see a window telling you how to return to the new Google Groups after making this change to your settings.
3. Once you are in the Classic Google Groups, toward the right-hand side of the page, you will see an icon that looks like a person's outline and a gear. When you hover over it, it will say "My Settings."
4. Click on "My Settings" and pull down to "My global settings"
5. Make sure that you have checked both boxes. If you decide you only want to allow invitations but not "direct add" let the Technology Department know and they will invite you to join the appropriate group.
