Passaic Schools

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve communication, security, and directory organization across the district, we are transitioning to a new set of standardized email distribution groups.

These new groups are designed to clearly identify the intended audience (such as schools, departments, and specific roles) and ensure that internal communications are routed securely and accurately.

The new distribution groups are active and ready to be used right now. The naming structure has been standardized to make finding the right audience easier. For example:

• A school's main office email has changed from the old format ([email protected]) to the new format: [email protected].
• A school's all-staff list has changed from the old format ([email protected]) to the new format: [email protected].

Important Timeline: By this coming September, the old distribution lists will be retired and will no longer appear in the email directory (Global Address List). Please update your personal contacts and begin using the new addresses below. To ensure a smooth transition, emails sent to the old addresses will automatically forward to the new addresses until September.

Below is a complete list of the updated groups you can use to communicate across the district.

To prevent accidental district-wide "reply-all", some groups are set to Restricted. This means only specific departments or administrative groups (listed in the final column) have permission to send emails to them. If a group is marked as Open, it has no sender restrictions. Anyone (including all staff members, parents, and external email addresses) can send emails to it.

District & Department Email Groups

School-Level Email Groups

Every school building follows a standardized naming convention. To email a specific group at a school, replace ## with the school's number (for example, M-Staff-PS01-Administrators@, M-Staff-PS12-08-Teachers@). High schools will be 12 (all), 12H (school 5), 12-21 (school 21), 12-08 (school 8), and 12-09 (school 9).

If you experience any issues sending to these new distribution groups, notice missing members, or need to request permission to email a restricted list, please submit a Help Desk ticket for assistance.
