President Jamé Trudeau's Welcome message:
To all families new and returning, welcome to the 2019-2020 school year at B.F. Day Elementary School. We are thrilled that we are finally all together for what will be a transformative year. A little about me: I'm a Seattle native and a UW grad. My hobbies include cooking bacon in bulk and I can go to Level 19 in Tetris. I'm also known as Schooner's mom.
B.F. Day is in it's 128th year of consecutive education, the longest in the Seattle School District. We're steeped in history, but we're making our own, too. This year we're larger than ever with a dynamic classes, new teachers to complement our existing rockstar teachers, and a staff/administration ready to support your learners in any way they need.
The PTSA is here for you, too. New Families, it's definitely overwhelming to come to a new school. We're celebrating New Families with a potluck on Wednesday, September 25th . Save the date; having a meal together is the BF Day Way. For those of you returning to BF Day, we are so excited that you are here and know that another great year of learning, growing, and thriving is in store.
Our first All-school assembly is on Monday, September 16th. You're always invited to come see all the students gathered together, hear the school song, and listen to the news and updates for the week. In addition to the PTSA, Principal Jaskot, Ms. Carrie, Ms. Sonja and others in the front office are always here and happy to answer questions. Hope to see you at the First day of school tea/coffee. We have a lot of information to share, so let's get this great year started.
~Jamé

Thanksgiving Reflections:
As we move into the conference and Thanksgiving recess, many families will be gathering together to reflect upon the blessings and positive things in their lives. Here are some of my work-related gifts that I truly value and appreciate:
The privilege to work with a supportive and caring team of staff and parents
Students who give their all every day and work to resolve any problem or issue, as best they can
A school that values diversity and celebrates differences
Parents that offer insights and feedback to help make our partnership authentic
Staff who go the extra mile in supporting every student
A community that supports students emotionally, as well as academically
A PTSA who give countless hours of their time to make a difference in the programs and supports we offer
Staff who work nights and weekends to get their planning and record keeping done
The belief and work ethic around growth mindset and continual improvement
The grace to make mistakes, occasional misses in communication and the belief in positive intent from each of us.
My best to everyone during this upcoming Thanksgiving Break! Thank you for making this all possible.
Dragon Dens
One of the core beliefs of B. F. Day elementary is that we support and encourage socio-emotional growth for students and each other. Dragon Dens are monthly group meetings of mixed-grade groups who meet with the same adult every month. Students read books and engage with activities related to current topics and events, as well as conduct Q&A and workshops for the students to practice socio-emotional generosity and sensitivity. Ask your student about their dragon den, as they are a very special part of our school community. Our first Dragon Den this year will be held this Thursday afternoon, November 21st.
