Community - Listservs

For assistance with any listserv, email the Oya No Kai Webmaster at

Oya No Kai has email lists available for use by Japanese Magnet Program students, parents, teachers, administrators, alumni, and friends. These lists are used frequently to share news, event notices, requests for assistance or donations, reminders, thank yous, and other business relevant to ONK and the JMP.

Items that are deemed inappropriate for the ONK listserv will not be posted. These include:

1. Inappropriate language or personal attacks.
2. Unsolicited offers and advertising ("spam").
3. Business solicitations, even if you want to offer your services to ONK members.
4. Copyrighted material. If you have an article or news item to share, please post a citation or a link to the article, but no copyrighted material will be sent.
5. Personal invitations, even if you wish to invite JMP families. Fundraising events or events sponsored by ONK can be publicized on the listservs as they would be in Oshirase and school newsletters. Personal invitations to parties, gatherings, and events are not included because they do not concern ONK or JMP business.
6. Personal data, especially your children's names or addresses.

If you are unsure as to whether your item is appropriate, please contact ONK before sending any messages to the listservs.

Each list is moderated, which means that all posts must be approved before being sent to the list. Moderation has ensured that inappropriate or irrelevant items are not sent to subscribers.

Each list also does not accept attachments, no matter the size. This includes Word .doc files, .txt files, pictures (.gif or .jpg), Adobe PDFs, and HTML files. Oya No Kai apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

Each list is completely voluntary. No one is automatically subscribed; each person decides if he or she wants to belong or not. Subscribers may belong to more than one list if so desired. Email addresses provided to the list for subscription are protected and are not shared with any organization outside ONK.
