ICS Listservs
A listserv is a communication tool for sharing information among a select group of people—in our case, ICS parents and community members. Subscribing to a listserv allows you to send and receive e-mails addressed to the list. ICS has three listservs to help you stay in touch with what’s happening at the school.

  • SchoolReach: The school uses this listserv to send out school-specific announcements: weekly updates, closings, emergencies, and other announcements of interest to our families. Contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to be added.
  • ICSCommunity: This listserv is a community forum for posting non-ICS-specific information to the ICS community. You can share tips, referrals, and information about community events, after-school programs, summer camps, etc. Visit http://groups.google.com/group/icscommunity to apply for membership.
  • ICSPTA: The PTA uses this listserv for PTA-specific announcements and information. Email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to join.
