PTSA President's Message (June 3, 2020)
Dear B.F. Day students, families, and friends,
These historic times have torn great holes of loss within our collective lives.
COVID-19 took away our in-person community. But we gained time to celebrate our health and spend time with our immediate famlies. We also were given new challenges in distance learning. One of my greatest joys is seeing my 2nd grader interact daily with her class on a Zoom meeting. She knows how to get herself set up on the computer and also to do her work digitally. In addition to schoolwork, our children are learning things that are not necessarily academic. These tools will serve them in the future lives.
The tragedies of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor have created huge waves of sorrow in our families and in our city. We are grateful to Seattle Public Schools, and especially the leadership at B.F. Day in helping us navigate the grief of our current events. We hope for long-term systemic change in the way our black families and students are regarded and treated. SPS has already been doing this work, but there is much more work to do. Your powerful voices are drops of hope that we cling to. Let us make a future where there is both justice and peace for all.
The B.F. Day PTSA is here to support you in whatever way you need. We will find ways to feed those who need food, we will provide emotional support. Our teachers are desperate to find ways to connect with their classroom kids (many times while teaching their own children at home). I have heard many stories of our teachers deeply missing the kids, the reason why they chose to be educators. The PTSA wants to help make and maintain these connections.
We are here for you. Let us see you in your struggles. Let us celebrate your tiny victories. B.F. Day is, and always will be, the Family School.
We love you and wish joy to fall upon you daily.
~Jamé

Summer of Learning
-
Looking for an opportunity to support your child's success next school year? We're here to help — Seattle Public Schools is expanding our successful summer learning program!
-
While Seattle Public Schools continues to prioritize students furthest away from educational justice, the 2020 summer learning program is open to all students. Enrolling in the summer learning will help your child sharpen their academic skills for next school year and beyond. Even though we can't run our traditional, in-person classrooms this summer, we encourage all students to enroll in these online programs.
-
-
Seattle Public Schools educators have been chosen and trained to provide the most effective instructional strategies for your child's success. We have hand selected educators from our great staff, who are ready and excited to support your child in sharpening their academic skills.
-
-
This summer's learning programs will include social-emotional supports, enhanced tutoring for students who need an extra boost, and will be providing wraparound care at select school sites. If your child's teacher recommends them for enhanced supports, you will be contacted directly by the school.
-
-
Registration is open and closes on June 12. The program runs from July 6 through August 7. All students must register to be considered for the program.
-
-
Communication for students and families during the summer program: Email will be the primary mode of communication for the Summer of Learning. On May 26, Seattle Public Schools launched email accounts for all students. When you register your student for summer learning programs, you are welcome to use the new student email. Student email address will be their SPS Student Username — what students use to login to Schoology, Clever, etc. (ex: 1jrsmith@seattleschools.org) Read more about student email and meeting tools.
