Principal's Updates Archives

^{Mrs. Dian Carter, Principal}

Don't miss a single one of Mrs. Carter's updates - emailed to the parents and students each Sunday, with calendar events and changes, links, registration details, deadlines, and all information for upcoming events!

Sometimes mid-week reminders are sent throughout the school year. Emails are usually not sent during breaks or recess. Over summer vacation, emails will be sent with important information for summer programs, assignments, athletics, and preparations for returning to school in the fall.

Principal's Updates

Getting your school emails

It is not necessary to sign up for the Weekly Updates. Our email system uses the email addresses of parents and guardians already in our system. (Make sure we have your email!)
While you are logged into Maccess, verify that your email address(es), your wireless phone number, and all other information are correct in your user profile in Maccess (your name in the upper right corner of this page)
Check your spam or junk folder in your email inbox
Check that our email server address (bishopmcnamara.myenotice.com) is not blocked in your settings
Check that you are not "over quota", as this will prevent emails from being sent
Email Director of Web Services Janice Conlon at Janice.Conlon@bmhs.org if you have any delivery issues

Possible Email Issues

Dear Parents:
We have noticed some issues with certain email addresses, and we want you to know that we are actively working on these issues, which may affect your weekly communications from our school offices.

1) The 5.7.515 "Access Denied" delivery errors are impacting Microsoft addresses. Some of these addresses are:

hotmail.com
Live.com
msn.com
outlook.com

This is a widespread problem affecting many organizations across the industry and is currently being investigated by both our email provider and Microsoft. While our systems are properly configured and authenticated, Microsoft’s recent changes to their validation process are intermittently rejecting messages due to DKIM errors (DomainKeys Identified Mail, which is an email authentication method), even though our DKIM is correctly in place.

2) New changes in storage policies, reducing free storage from 1TB to 20GB by Yahoo, for instance, or other providers, are causing inboxes to fill up, leading to more bounces with full inboxes. We are receiving a higher number of bounces due to accounts Over Quota. Be sure to fix any overquota situations promptly. Contact us if you think your email bounced due to quotas.

3) Parents can also encounter issues if they use their work email addresses, which may have their own aggressive filters. We suggest that you contact your company/organization's IT for assistance. They may be able to assist you with allowing our emails to get through their filters.

If you are not receiving emails from the school offices and administrators for any reason, send an email to Janice.Conlon@bmhs.org so we can work on a resolution. Thank you.
