National School Counseling & Career Week

On February 3-7 B.F. Day will celebrate National School Counseling Week! Thank you to the PTSA for their ongoing support of school counseling. B.F. Day is proud to have a full- time school counselor and is the first school in Seattle Public Schools to achieve RAMP (Recognized ASCA Model Program) status through the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). In July of 2024, B.F. Day was one of 60 elementary schools nationally to be recognized with RAMP designation at the annual ASCA conference. 

B.F. Day is one of five schools in Washington state designated as a “RAMP School.” Join us in celebrating our school counselors, Mr. Taylor and Ms. Mara, on February 3-7.

At B.F. Day, we celebrate National School Counseling Week as Career Week. During Career Week, our fourth and fifth grade students will listen to guest speakers discuss their pathway to their career, obstacles they overcame, responsibilities of their career, and take questions from the students. In all, we will have 20 speakers presenting to our fourth and fifth graders. Throughout the week, students will be engaging with college and career readiness skills.

This year, our kindergarten – third grade students will also participate in Career Week! Four speakers will share about their careers with our youngest students. Thank you to all of our volunteers that are supporting Career Week this year!
