E-mail Guidelines
Purpose: Our use of e-mail is intended
to facilitate the brief exchange of information that is not time-sensitive.
Guidelines:
- Allowing
time for responses: Because
so much of our work happens in classrooms
with the girls, instant communication
cannot mean instant response.
Please allow at least 24 to 48 hours for responses to all e-mails.
For example, please do not use e-mail to report your daughter’s
absence. You may wish to use
e-mail to arrange an appointment
with your daughter’s head
teacher or supervisor.
- E-mail
tips: There are certain exchanges
that are best communicated in person
or over the telephone. E-mail exchanges
should not take the place of
a telephone conversation or scheduled conference. E-mail should
not be used for philosophical discussions. Please do not e-mail
teachers with questions about your daughter’s
progress. In general, e-mail
the same people whom you would
also telephone as stated in the Bulletin
of Information for Parents.
- General
discretion: Please be discreet
in using e-mail for confidential
information and avoid sending
messages to multiple people.
Thank you for using good judgment
and for keeping your e-mails short and
clear.
As our community moves
forward with e-mail, please
support us in this endeavor. The Chapin pattern for e-mail
addresses is lastname@chapin.edu. (For example: jones@chapin.edu) There are some exceptions to this rule.
A telephone call could clarify the correct address.
