P’29s who don’t see our weekly emails in their inbox
Postseason sports update
Finals finished last night and non-graduating students will have checked out of their residential communities by the time the Daily Deac hits your inbox. So we are at the epilogue of the academic year: all that remains is the grading of finals and Commencement.
Here’s all the news that’s fit to print today 🙂
Space planning and summer construction updates
Early in my career at Wake, I was complaining to one of my much-older colleagues about all the summer construction, and how all the orange construction fencing was an eyesore (to me at least). My wise colleague reframed it this way: orange construction fencing means the school is healthy – we are renovating and growing, improving. He was right.
P’29s who don’t see our weekly emails in their inbox
I have had a number of P’29 families email me to say they do not see the Weekly Update emails in their inbox each Tuesday.
We ask all new P’29 families to Verify your family record in Wake Network so we have your correct contact info; sometimes the parent/family email addresses your students provided on their admissions application is different by the time they enroll.
But if you verify your family record and find your emails are correctly listed, know that we are emailing you at those addresses (and I can even see if a specific email is opened, links clicked on etc.) If you still cannot see our emails, here is some global troubleshooting that may help.
Search your email for any @wfu.edu emails, because from time to time people’s Internet Service Providers (ISP) interpret our emails as spam and those don’t land in the inbox as intended, and instead head to your spam filter/junk/quarantine folder.
Talk to your ISP about firewalls: if the email address you have with WFU is a work email, ask your IT department if they can tweak your settings so our wfu.edu emails can get past your firewall. If this is a home email, you can talk to your ISP about your firewall and see if they can tweak your settings.
Unfortunately, when we press ‘send’ on an email, there is no way to guarantee how that email will be received and interpreted by individual firewalls or spam filters. This is why we always link these messages in our Daily Deac blog, which is sent from a non-WFU server, just to make sure families have access.
