Join our Email Distribution List
Once you have completed and submitted a Northbridge Parent Advisory Council membership form, you may join our Google
Group. This group is the primary mode of communication for sharing information regarding workshops, meetings, legislation,
action alerts and other information of interest to parents, educators and administration. If you would like to join our
Google Group, please enter your email address in the box below. This is an "announcement only" group and
does require approval for membership. This group is not a discussion group between parents/families regarding questions
or issues we may have. A separate group is available to address the need for family networking. You can access our
family networking group by visiting the Support Groups & Disability Information Page of our site.
On Saturday 1/17/09, we changed the subscription delivery option for all members of this
list to an "Abridged Email" format. If you are not receiving any NPAC communications and believe you should be, please
contact us ASAP at npac@live.com.
Beginning the week of 1/25/09, we will distribute all messages twice a week on Tuesdays and
Thursdays (you may not receive these until Wednesday and Friday). Please make note of any workshops, tele-seminars,
etc. in your calendars as last minute reminders will not likely be received right before the event. We will do our best
to add all workshops, etc. that come to our attention to our NPAC calendar found on our Meetings & Workshops page.
** YOU MUST HAVE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO ACCESS WEB FEATURES. If you are unable to access
any posts received in your abridged email, it is most likely because you did not setup a Google Account either prior
to or at time of subscribing to our NPAC Email List. Please contact us at npac@live.com if you are having any difficulties.
