Dear Parents/Guardians, here is the final Glen Ames SPS Update for the 2013 – 2014 School Year:
1. Canada’s New Anti-Spam Legislation CASL
Parent/guardian response required by Monday, June 30th!
This email is to inform you about the introduction of Canada’s new Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which takes effect on July 1, 2014. CASL prohibits the sending of any type of electronic message that is commercial in nature unless the recipient has provided consent first. As a result, Toronto District School Board requires your consent to receive any electronic messages which contain advertising or promotions regarding school fundraisers, lunch programs, field trips, the sale of yearbooks, purchasing of student photos, books, prom or dance tickets, athletic events with an entry fee or similar events and offers.
If you wish to allow your email address to be used for the above communications from us, please provide consent by completing the online consent form: https://surveys.tdsb.on.ca/index.php?r=survey/index/sid/412281/lang/en
You will continue to receive school related non-commercial electronic messages. If you do not wish to receive commercial electronic messages no action is required.
You may choose to unsubscribe from commercial emails at any time by emailing casl@tdsb.on.ca

2. Brighter Futures of Burkina Faso Water Walk
This week, Glen Ames students helped raise money for www.brightfuturesofburkina.org by participating in a water walk on the Beaches Boardwalk. Congratulations to all and especially Ms. Arbek for organizing this important venture.
3. The QSP magazine fundraiser will be returning to the Glen Ames in early Fall!
You may soon start to receive renewal notices for your current magazine subscriptions. We ask that you please hold onto these renewal orders and wait to support our official fundraising campaign. If you can’t wait, you can still support the school by visiting qsp.ca and entering the school name after 1 July.
