Welcome Incoming Kindergarteners!

Incoming Kindergarten families can save the dates for our Summer Kick Off (formerly called Jump Start). Kick-off to Kindergarten is scheduled for August 19, 20, 21,  9:00 a.m. – noon. We’ll have more information as we get closer to summer.

We are excited to be hosting Kick-off to Kindergarten (formerly known as Jump Start). There is no cost to participate thanks to the sponsorship from our B.F. Day PTSA.  Kick-off to Kindergarten is designed to introduce your child to our school.  We will be getting to know classrooms and learning spaces, making new friends, and developing early learning skills.  Kick-off to Kindergarten orients kindergarteners and gives them an unhurried, low-key opportunity to meet staff and peers before first – fifth graders are in the building.

Please complete the Kick Off to Kindergarten Form that is included as an attachment in the letter sent to families.

Please arrive between 8:30 and 8:45 to get your child signed in. One Thursday and Friday, please arrive by 8:45.

Please see the attached Kick-off to Kindergarten enrollment form. To enroll your child in Kick-off to Kindergarten at B.F. Day, please complete the enrollment form and return it to Ms. Sonja, our office manager. You can email the registration form to bfday.kindergarten@seattleschools.org, turn it into the front office during school hours or mail it to B.F. Day.

Kick-off to Kindergarten staff will be taught by current kindergarten teachers and supported by special education staff. Each day students will work with a different teacher and different students. Your child’s Kick-off to Mid-morning snacks will be provided for all students.

We’re looking forward to welcoming our incoming kindergarten students for the 26-27 school year!

Kick-Off Day Drop Offs: All drop offs and pickups for our Kick-Off days will be at the gym, on the east side of the building just south of the central doors. We’ll have signs and greeters out to help you find the entrance. On the first day of Kick-Off to Kindergarten, we will have a check-in table in the gym. Families may begin lining up at 8:45 a.m.

During check-in, we’ll ensure your enrollment form is complete, issue your child a name tag, and assign a Kick-off to Kindergarten teacher for the day.

At the end of the day, teachers meet families back at the gym for parent pickup at 12:00 p.m. No busing services are offered for Kick-off to Kindergarten.

– Kick off to Kindergarten August 19, 20 & 21 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
