Our PTO used to rely on the school list but it was very difficult to send messages out in a timely fashion. The board then built a website that now lets the families register. One feature of the website is an email blast that goes to all families that have registered. Once they started using it, the list quickly grew and the site has become the go to place for all PTO activity.
I'm curious to know if your parent group is able to use your school's parent email list to send things to parents or will the school send it for you?
We have a list of just PTO members, but we cannot have access to the school's parent email list nor will they send things for us. I just want to know if this is the norm.
