Helpful Email Considerations

Many email addresses don’t contain your full name, and some do not contain any
part of your name. Because of this, it will be helpful to all here at the
Hadley School if you will follow these guidelines when sending email messages
to instructors and Student Service representatives:

1.  If you are emailing an instructor, please put the course name and
assignment number you are writing about as the subject line.

2.  Put your full name in the body (or edit field) of every email message sent
to someone at Hadley.

3.  If you are sending an attached file, please write a sentence in the body of
the email that clarifies that you are emailing an attachment. Do not just
attach a file to a blank message. If you do, it is not guaranteed that it will
be opened.

Hadley thanks each of you for following these steps, which will save us time in
reading and replying to many emails each day.
