An unmoderated listserv like ours respects subscribers' freedom of speech; it also relies on subscribers' good sense and common courtesy in order to build a thriving community that everyone will want to participate in. Here are a few netiquette tips:

• Remember that any email sent to the listserv will be read by almost 500 people.  If you have questions about how to use the listserv, send them to dvhslist@gmail.com

• Send only to the listserv addressIf you add another address in the To: or CC: it will be automatically delayed for administrator approval.   The high school address is dvhpbc@mailman.dcn.org and the junior high address is davinci-jhs@mailman.dcn.org.

• For some email providers:  If you attach a document to your message, the text of your message also becomes an attachment in the form of a .txt file.  Your readers won't see this text unless they open the attachments.  You can contact the list administrator if you have questions about this.

• Only registered users can send to the listserv.  Therefore, you can only send a message from the email address that you used to sign up for the listserv.  You may be signed up with multiple email addresses.

• The listserv is an appropriate forum to address general questions, not questions that involve your student's privacy. Please contact the counselor directly to address those.

• If you would like to receive fewer messages from the listserv, you may change your subscription options to receive Booster messages in a DIGEST form. You can specify that here:

• Please do not send an email to the listserv to check if you are subscribed, or to unsubscribe. To unsubscribe, go to:

• Avoid using actual names when discussing student or teacher topics.
• Address problems about individual teachers with your student's counselor or administrator, NOT through this listserve. It's only fair to give teachers a chance to present their viewpoints.
• Messages sent via our listserv are meant for the list members only. Please don't forward to non-subscribers without the expressed consent of the original sender.
• Do not disclose subscribers' email address to non-subscribers.
• Do not use this listserv for solicitations.
• Delete irrelevant original message when replying.
• Use a distinct and succinct SUBJECT title.
• Practice internet safety. Do not send private information by email.
