Rules to Use HCS-TC Mailing List
HCS-TC, Board of Directors (updated 8/18/2003)
The mailing list (hcstcparents@googlegroups.com) of Hope Chinese School at Tyson's Corner campus (HCS-TC) is intended for use by HCS-TC officials (the School) to communicate with HCS-TC parents about school administrative information, and by HCS-TC parents (You) to share information among yourselves with common interest.
Your name and email address are added to the list based on the information you provide when you register your children to HCS-TC, or you request through email to have your name and mail added to the list. You can directly post information of common interest to the list by sending the message to hcstcparents@googlegroups.com.
By subscribing to this list, you agree on the general rules set forth and accepted by majority of the subscribers to this list. If you do not agree with these rules, you should send a request to the School Principal (hcstcparents+subscribe@googlegroups.com ) to remove your email account from the list. Once removed, however, it is your responsibility to find other means to obtain the updated school administrative information. HCS-TC reserves the right to remove any subscriber from the list if the subscriber is found in violation of the following rules, or a subscriber is no longer a registered parent in HCS-TC.
