Not receiving UTS email messages?

As a UTS community member, you often receive email messages from UTS. If you are not receiving them, it may be because your server does not recognize the "@utschools.ca" portion of the address and sends it to your Junk folder.

To make sure UTS emails reach your inbox, please do the following:

1. Regularly check the Bulk or Junk folder to see if UTS email has landed there. You can select any e-mail that is erroneously marked as spam and send to your Inbox. This trains the spam filter how to recognize wanted e-mail.

2. Add UTS email addresses to your Safe List and update your Spam settings:
   
   UTS-bulletin@utschools.ca
   UTSParents@utschools.ca
   UTSBoard@utschools.ca
   UTSPrincipalsOffice@utschools.ca
