Mrs. Smith's Weekly Newsletter

A Message from Mrs. Smith...
Newsletter Mailing List
A few parents recently reached out because they are not receiving these newsletters although they may have received them earlier in the school year. I have made no changes to the master mailing list in the program I use to create these newsletters except to add one new family. When I check the analytics, it always shows these parents' email addresses have blocked the program. If you are experiencing this you must check the settings in your email and be sure this email address is not blocked:
cynthiasmith474@users.smore.com
I am unable to re-enter a blocked email address to the mailing list. Your email will continue to block the program because it has blocked the email address from which it is sent. You should also check your SPAM folder, but no parents have reported finding the newsletter has landed there.
If you have a change in email address, please report it to Mrs. Kalbach in the main office (school@olgc.me). She will make the change in Genesis and also make sure it is updated in this program's mailing list.
All parents listed as Guardian #1 or Guardian #2 were included in the original mailing list. If you choose to block it that's fine, but I ask that one parent keep access to it so you can stay informed of our school happenings. You can also find copies of these newsletters on our school website.
Thank you for your patience. I find these newsletters are a convenient way to share information with parents.
