For those of you familiar with RSS feeds the following will be of no interest to you as I’m sure you already subscribe using a reader such as google, bloglines etc.

However, for those of you not familiar with RSS feeds and In an effort to make it easier for you to keep up-to-date with events and the daily happenings at the school, you now have the option to subscribe to St. Christopher’s Website via email updates.

By submitting your email address in the form located on the left, and putting a check mark in the ‘subscribe’ box, you will be sent an email ‘EVERY TIME’ a post is published or updated on the site. How often you receive emails is up for discussion, every time something new is posted might be a little to much, and I might change it to emails twice a day, both times after 3P.M.

It’s a great addition to the site, and will ensure you never miss an important event, fund raiser or homework assignment.

This is a new feature and I’d like some input or suggestions so I’m leaving the comment section open. If you’d rather email me instead of leaving a comment below, my email link is also on the left hand side of this page.

It is recommended you become a registered user of the site in order to take advantage of the added benefits.

As a registered member you can configure your profile . You will be able to comment on posts that allow comments, and you will have the option to only subscribe to those categories that pertain to you and your child/ren and decide if you want the full updates emailed to you or just an extract of the post. Only subscribing to important categories will significantly cut down on the email alerts.

ie. If you only have one child in 3rd grade, it’s of no benefit for you to get email alerts when another grade posts homework or class reminders.

You can un-subscribe to site alerts at any time by going to your profile and un-checking all the categories or by logging out and putting a check mark in the un-subscribe box and submitting it with you email.
