Email discussion groups are meant to facilitate and enhance communication among St. John Nepomuk Catholic School Patrons and at times, faculty.  Subscription to one or more discussion groups is voluntary and is a benefit provided by St. John Nepomuk Catholic School.

As with any community (real or virtual), St. John Nepomuk has put in place guidelines that govern behavior on these lists to ensure that it is respectful of others and not in violation of any laws or regulations.  Please take a moment to ensure that you understand these important policies and guidelines.

By using these St. John Nepomuk-sponsored email discussion lists, you agree that you have read, understood, and will abide by the policies and guidelines established for these member discussion groups.  You also agree to reserve list discussions for topics related to St. John Nepomuk School.

At this time, St. John Nepomuk does not actively monitor these lists for inappropriate postings and does not, on its own, undertake editorial control of postings.  However, in the event that any inappropriate posting is brought to St. John Nepomuk’s attention, St. John Nepomuk will take all appropriate action.

If you have questions, contact the St. John Nepomuk office or call 405-354-2509.  St. John Nepomuk reserves the right to suspend or terminate participation on all lists for members who violate these rules.

• List members of the St. John School Patrons list may mention the availability of commercial services or products on the list, but no prices.
  • Individuals may list personal equipment with prices.

• No HTML, rich text, or other stylized messages — send messages in plain text only.  Many mail systems cannot recognize messages in any format other than plain text.

• Stay on-topic. All messages should be relevant to the scope of the email lists.
• Use a good subject line. When posting a message to the list, include a meaningful subject line that concisely describes the topic of your message, so that participants will be able to easily identify messages of interest to them.
• Remember that replies automatically go to the entire list.
