B.F. Day Families - 

I hope this Dayette finds you well in these extraordinary times. It is encouraging to hear some positive news that our social distancing efforts in Seattle seem to be making a difference. Today’s Dayette will hopefully shed some light on the new requirements set forth by OSPI and our school district. Our BF Day staff members have been connecting using Teams, and we now have grade level meetings set up each week of the closure.

The main purposes for my grade level teams meetings are to calibrate the remote learning activities that are being sent out by grade and to find out which students have additional needs or with whom there has been no contact by phone or email. John, Jenn, Carrie and I will then work on any additional needs in conjunction with the PTSA.

Seattle Public Schools is dedicated to ensuring educational excellence for every student. During school closures, our hope is that learning will continue (particularly in the core academic areas). This is not a replacement for classroom instruction. These activities are not required nor will be graded.
