Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day
Thursday, September 11, 2025
This Thursday, September 11th, we will take part in Pink Shirt Day. The focus this year is on the importance of being an ally—standing in solidarity with marginalized groups and speaking up for their rights.
At Bluenose Academy, we value listening to understand and learning from one another so that we can continue to grow. We encourage all staff and students to wear pink, embrace allyship and to work together toward equity for every learner.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Parents/Guardians are not permitted to PARK & EXIT THEIR CARS in the Drop-off Loop in front of the school during arrival and dismissal times.
Also note: This area is for Pr - 2 Student Drop-off ONLY. Parents/Guardians dropping off students in higher grades are to do so from the community center parking lot.
Parents/Guardians using the Parent Drop-Off Loop are NOT TO EXIT THEIR CARS. Please remain in your car at all times. A staff member will help with opening the door to assist children out of vehicles. The drop-off loop is to be a steady flow... no parked/unattended cars. This is to avoid congestion of vehicles, which could create a dangerous environment for traffic on Green Street. Please ensure you follow this process. Your safety, our students' safety and the safety of the general public are counting on this. (If you are a parent/guardian of a Pr-2 student and you want to walk your child to or meet them at the front doors, please go to the community centre, park there and walk over.)
DOG OWNERS: Dogs are not permitted on school grounds. Please do not bring them with you for student drop-off or pick-up. We have several children who have very real fears of dogs, and seeing them on site creates unnecessary stress and anxiety for them. Thank you in advance for being respectful of our students, their safety and needs.
