Google Groups - How to Check

What are Google Groups?

Google Groups are ways to manage collections of email accounts. Depending upon the group settings, someone from inside the group, inside the district, or any email at all, can send an email to the whole group just by sending a single email to the group address. Some groups, such as bceallstaff@bccs286.org or bcsallstaff@bccs286.org, are limited on who can send an email. This means any user sendinga message to that group email must be on the approved posting list.

What Types of Google Groups are There?

Mailing list memberships for staff groups(BCSallstaff, BCEallstaff, allDistrictemployees) is based off your skyward information. You will automatically be added to BCS or BCE all staff depending on your building location. All staff members will be placed in to the All District Employees Group. Additionally If you are a Teacher you will be placed into BCS Teachers or BCE Teachers depending on the information provided by Skyward.
