Our system is putting faith and trust in each and everyone of you to respect the list and post ONLY homeschooling related items/offerings, no personal business marketing, political, religious, unconfirmed virus alerts, e-mail chain mail.

To join the list, you must be a member of either Between Counties or Southern Fairfield County Homeschoolers.  Once you join either group, you will receive information about how to join the the FCH list.

Fairfield County Homeschoolers (FCH) is an email list comprised of members of Southern Fairfield County Homeschoolers and Between Counties Home Educators, both homeschooling support groups affiliated with the Connecticut Homeschool Network (CHN). Its purpose is to provide support, share information, and to create social and educational opportunities for homeschoolers in Fairfield County, CT.

F-C-HJunior is a fully moderated list for the kids of FCH list members. This is a fun way for computer-savvy kids to communicate.

FCH-VirtualTagSale is an announcement-only list where FCH list members can post information about items they are interested in selling, giving away, or swapping.

When you sign up with Yahoo Groups, you will be given four choices: you may receive all emails sent to the list individually as they are posted, you may receive a daily digest, you may receive only special notices (issued only by the moderator, which will be very rare), or you may elect not to receive any emails and instead go to our Yahoo Groups home page to read messages.

The FCH and FCH Virtual Tag Sale lists are unmoderated, which means all members may post a message directly to the list. In contrast, the FCH Kids List, FCH Junior, is a fully moderated list; all posts are pre-approved by the moderator (Kira Williams).

All members will receive all posted messages, including replies (unless they have chosen either the "no email" or "special notices" option and instead read messages on our Yahoo Groups website). If you do not want your reply to be posted to the entire list, then be sure to reply to the sender's personal email address as opposed to the group email address. The exception is the FCH Virtual Tag Sale list, which is an announcement-only list. Replies will automatically go to the original poster, not the entire list, unless the reply is made to a daily digest.

When replying to a post, please delete as much of the original post as possible from your reply so that those receiving the daily digest do not receive multiple copies of the original post. (Digests can be very lengthy!) In addition, please send simple "Thank you’s" and other similar messages privately.

All meetings, events, and activities posted to the list will also be placed on our calendar at our Yahoo Groups website, so please check the calendar regularly to see what's there.

It is expected that we will all treat each other with civility and respect, and if disagreements arise as a result of a discussion on the list, that those in disagreement will take their discussion "off list." "Flaming" (personal attacks) will not be allowed.

All postings must be related to homeschooling in some way. Please no political or religious posts, no chain letters, no advertisements, etc.

If you are unclear whether or not something is appropriate for the list, please check with Kira Williams first at kira.w@softcentric.com.

Individuals who repeatedly do not abide by the above guidelines may be removed from the list.
