Grades 6-9 Extra-Curicular Awards & Grade 9 Closing Tribute
June 5, 2020Dear Bluenose Academy Students, Parents, and Guardians: Grades 6-9 Extra-Curicular Awards & Grade 9 Closing Tribute
We thank you for your time and patience as we navigate together the conclusion of our 2019-2020 school year. Usually, the month of June allows us to look back and remember the year while celebrating our students’ successes both in and outside the classroom. This year, however, we will not be able to come together as a school and/or community. Currently, the BA staff is working to create a Grade 9 Closing Tribute as well as an Extra-Curricular Awards Presentation (Grades 6-9 only) that will be shared with you on the following dates:
Thursday, June 25th - Extra-Curricular Awards for Grades 6-9 Friday, June 26th - Grade 9 Closing Tribute
We plan to celebrate the classroom awards for Grades 2-8 in September 2020 under the direction of Public Health.
Please note, any students who receive an award through the Extra-Curricular Awards or the Grade 9 Closing Tribute will receive these awards when we return to school in the Fall. If you are currently a Grade 9 student your award will be delivered to you at PVEC along with your yearbook.

Dear Students & Families,
Since the announcement that formal learning will end on June 5th, we know there is considerable interest in retrieving your belongings from the school.
School staff is busy collecting student belongings and developing plans to ensure we can maintain Public Health protocols during this time. It is important to follow the guidelines for social distancing and allowing limited numbers in the building at a time.
We will be reaching out to families to give appointment dates to come to the school. Access will start the week of June 8th to coincide with the end of formal learning period. We know many of you have school items to return to the school as well (text books, novels, instruments/music, uniforms, etc.). This date will allow people to return these items following the learning period at the same time as picking up their belongings.
You will receive more information from us on the specific plans by the end of this week. We appreciate your patience as we work to finalize our plans. Please take care and stay safe.
Sincerely,Steven McGillPrincipal, Bluenose Academy
