Dear PyleNet Subscribers,
PyleNet is now extinct!
We used PyleNet (our former yahoogroups listserve) for 20 years; therefore, it was time to upgrade! Pyle AtoZConnect has replaced PyleNet for all of our Pyle email communications. There are many benefits to Pyle AtoZConnect:
- Pyle AtoZConnect is also our directory database; therefore, all parents will automatically receive emails if their email addresses were in our Pyle Directory last year.
- All of Pyle's feeder elementary schools (Bannockburn, Bradley Hills, Burning Tree, Carderock Springs, and Wood Acres) use AtoZConnect also; therefore, AtoZConnect has already uploaded our incoming 6th grade families' contact info into our Pyle database.
- All Pyle teachers will be added into the Pyle AtoZConnect database - coming soon!
- Pyle AtoZConnect provides an online store where you can pay your annual PTSA membership dues, buy extra printed Directories, and make donations to our PTSA!
- Last year, we did a trial year with AtoZConnect emails and they worked well. Also, Carderock switched to AtoZConnect last year for emails and their community loves it.
- All Pyle PTSA members can access our Pyle Directory anytime via www.AtoZConnect.com or the AtoZConnect App.
- Parents and teachers can update their own email preferences and/or contact info at any time.
- We can now send "grade-specific" emails.
How to receive Pyle AtoZConnect emails: We sent our first Pyle AtoZConnect email earlier tonight (August 14th.) The subject line was "Welcome to Pyle's new listserve - Pyle AtoZConnect!"
- If you received the first AtoZConnect email today, then you're set!
- If you did NOT receive it, then follow these directions to create an AtoZConnect account:
- Go to https://atozconnect.com/cls/login.php
- Click "SignUp Now" at the bottom.
- You can find Pyle Middle School by entering "20817" in the "School Zip Code" field.
- Follow the prompts!
How to send a Pyle AtoZConnect email to all of our Pyle parents (or to a specific grade):
If you are a Pyle teacher, administrator, or PTSA/Foundation volunteer, you may post informational emails to our Pyle parents via AtoZConnect by sending the emails to "PyleAtoZConnect@gmail.com." Please include a descriptive subject line, detailed text (who, what, when, where, why, how) and include your name and email address at the bottom for questions. If you would like to send it to a specific grade level, please indicate this in your email. We will post the email within 24 hours of receipt.
Pyle Community Announcements: Like last year, every Monday, we will bundle community-related emails into one Community Announcements email.
Thank you to our Pyle PTSA Board members Olivia Awasthi, Lisa Mandell, and Yeages Cowan for working with me on this transition. If you have any questions, please email me at karenroman1@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Karen Roman, Pyle PTSA President (and mom to Pyle 6th grader Cole and Whitman 9th grader Shelby)
PS. Please join our Pyle PTSA today if you have not yet! You may do so online via AtoZConnect! Once you have an account, click "Store" on the left side.. Thank you and go Panthers!
