TARGET->Creating a listserv or other options for communicating with parents

[NHS Webmaster <nhswebmaster@COLLIER.K12.FL.US>]

My assistant principal wants to expand ways of communicating with
parents. We were discussing options that would allow us to automatically
send notices such as parent newsletters, activity calendars, report card
distribution notices, etc. We know that at the high school level
anything we send via paper via student rarely arrives home. Mailing
everything is very expensive.

We want some way for parents to "opt in" to this rather than getting
there e-mail addresses and creating groups. That is too time-consuming
and subject to change as e-mail addresses change.

One option we discussed was setting up a listserv. Have you done this?
Does it work. How did you do it?

Thanks in advance.
