Any user of Gmail is able to create their own contact groups so that they can send emails to common groups of people easily. Unfortunately, these contact groups are specific to the user who created them and can't easily be shared with other people.
MVSIT maintains email groups (via Google Groups) that are shared to everyone in the school, which means that they should autocomplete in Gmail when you send mail to these groups. Their addresses are as follows (and their purposes are in their addresses):
If you click on one of the addresses above, you'll be taken to a page listing the members of that group.
NOTE: The faculty and allemployees groups are made up of other groups, so they won't tell you exactly who is in them directly.
You can find out what groups you are in by clicking on this link or by going to groups.google.com and clicking on "My Groups."
If you're not in a group but would like to be, just email techsupport@mvschool.com and we'll add you.
There are many times when it might be useful to have an email address that's not identified with or assigned to a specific individual. Emails for groups, clubs, classes, immersions, etc. all might benefit from having multiple people able to access and/or send messages. They may also require that an email address stick around longer than an individual student or employee. In these cases, we have several options:
An alias can be created and assigned for any one person's email account. Email sent to the alias address will be delivered to the assignee's inbox like usual. There is also the option for the assignee to send email from the alias address - for more info on how to set that up, see Google's documentation here:https://support.google.com/a/answer/1710338?ctx=gmail&hl=en&authuser=0&visit_id=637435617141789621-2179235663&rd=1
A Google Group is really a team of people, identified by a single address, to whom emails can be sent by others. Email sent to this address can be delivered to all members of the Group and, with some set up, email can be sent as the Group as well. Groups have a lot of interesting features for teams to manage communication. See this Google support site for more info: https://support.google.com/groups/answer/46601?hl=en
It is possible to create a full, regular account for this use. Members of a group, club, class, etc. that wants to use this option will need to designate who will log in as the stand-alone user to access email and share the email address and password with those people.
If you have more questions about this topic or would like to discuss your goals and which option would be best, please reach out to techsupport@mvschool.com (a Google Group, actually).
