Rules to Use HCS-CH Mailing List

Adopted from HCS-FX, May 1, 2006

Approved by HCS-CT Board of Directors, November 29, 2006

 

The mailing list (ct-parents@list.hcs-ch.org) of Hope Chinese School at Chantilly campus (HCS-CH) is intended for use by HCS-CH officials (the School) to communicate with HCS-CH parents about school administrative information, and by HCS-CH parents (You) to share information among yourselves with common interest.

 

Your name and email address are added to the list based on the information you provide when you register your children to HCS-CH, or you request through email to have your name and mail added to the list. You can directly post information of common interest to the list by sending the message to ct-parents@list.hcs-ch.org.

If you do not agree with these rules, you should send a request to the School Principal (ct-parents@list.hcs-ch.org) to remove your email account from the list. Once removed, however, it is your responsibility to find other means to obtain the updated school administrative information. HCS-CH reserves the right to remove any subscriber from the list if the subscriber is found in violation of the following rules, or a subscriber is no longer a registered parent in HCS-CH.
