Making a Faculty Distribution List

Now that we are back from summer, this is a great time to update your Faculty Distribution List. Distribution lists are great tools for sending out e-mails to the whole faculty, your grade level, math teachers, etc. This posting will focus on our faculty distribution list, but please check the earlier postings for how to make a different distribution list, such as for your grade level.
To make a distribution list for the faculty:
• Open up your e-mail
• Click on “Contacts” on the left side of your window.
• Under the web address, you will see the word “New”. Click on the arrow on the right-side of the word "Contact", and change this word to “Distribution List”.
• Next to “List Name”, type in MOE Faculty.
• Click on “Find Names”
• Next to “Office”, type in “Mandarin Oaks” and click “Find”. This will pull up anyone whose e-mail shows that they are employed by Mandarin Oaks.
• Put a check next to the teacher’s name, and then when you reach the bottom click on “Add recipient to Distribution List”.
To send an e-mail to this distribution list, click on "Contacts", select "MOE Faculty", and then click on the third icon from the left that looks like a letter and envelope.

Be sure to check in for the next posting focusing on how to use "Spotlight" on your Apple. You will be glad you did!
