Blue Jay April 2025 Newsletter
April 10, 2025
Welcome to a beautiful start to Spring, Blue Jay families!
Weather Reminder:
-
As this peaceful morning school photo shows, our beautiful trees are beginning to bloom again as are the daffodils. Please ensure your child has an extra set of clothing (especially socks!) in their backpack in case they get wet.
-
Remember April showers bring May flowers, and your children should be dressed for the weather as we continue to play outside on most school days.
Shout Outs and Happenings from the Past Month:
-
Dental screening for kindergarten happened on March 4th.
-
School swimming for all Grade 3-5 students took place from April 7th to 14th. Students received 5 lessons in the pool at ARC. Thank you to Mrs. Edwards for all her help organizing this for us! We also want to thank the PAC for covering the cost of the lessons and pool rental.
-
Students in Div 6 and 8 went skating.

We held our Eid and Respect assembly, hosted by students, on Friday, April 4th. Thank you to Mr. Melzer and Ms. Edwards for organizing this for us.
Parent Survey: If you haven’t done so yet this year, please take a moment to complete our 2-minute survey. Your feedback on one of our school goals about students belonging here at Blue Jay Elementary is appreciated.
PAC – Everyone is Welcome: Our next PAC Meeting will be coming soon; please plan to attend to share your opinions and ask questions. Your input matters!
