How To Sign up For Email Lists
McAuliffe Regional Charter Public School email lists are available to parents of current students at the school, as well as staff and administration of the school. Our email lists are otherwise closed and not available to the general public. These lists require a login to reach any web content, and are provided through Yahoo!Groups.
Here are three videos that will hopefully answer most "how do I sign up" questions. These are Macromedia Shockwave/Flash movies. Almost everyone will probably already have this plugin installed - if not, you can get it (free) from the Flash player download center: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
Yahoo!Groups How-To Videos
PLEASE NOTE
In order to get into the Files section on the YahooGroups web site, you must create a Yahoo mail account (or use one you already have created). If you want MRCPS-Announce messages to be sent to your personal email account, please be sure to watch "Video 3: How to set your email delivery options..." below.
If you to not set your delivery options, please remember that emails will go to your newly created Yahoo account, and if you never check your Yahoo account, you will not see the messages!

Please watch these videos FIRST if you are have questions or issues setting up your Yahoo! Account or joining the MRCPS-Announce Yahoo!Group. I will attempt to answer support questions as quickly as possible, but I do ask that you watch these videos, and attempt to follow them step-by-step to see if this solves your problem before you write with questions or issues.
You can re-play these videos either by using the VCR-style controls at the bottom, or by closing your browser and clicking one of the links in this web page.
How to Receive MRCPS-Announce Email at a Specific Email Address
If you join the group using a Yahoo! ID, you can choose whether to have group emails sent to that Yahoo! email address (like "myemail@yahoo.com") or to any other email address you wish. You can add an email ID or choose which email account to send messages to by going to the MRCPS-Announce page at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mrcps-announce/ and clicking "Edit Membership" at the top. See the "Add new email address" link in the page to add an email address to deliver messages to, if you do not want them to go to your Yahoo! email account.
