Join us on Friday, October 1 for our first FREE family event of the year! The Butler Bash will be held outdoors this year and will feature a DJ, fun games for the whole family, a Butler Spirit Wear sale, and so much more. Feel free to bring your own dinner. Details to follow.

 

Please remember that this is NOT a drop off event. Parents are responsible for their own children. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Butler’s Fall Book Fair is Monday October 4th through Thursday, October 7th. Book Fair purchases can be made with cash, credit card (must be the credit card itself, not only the numbers – parent signature required for transaction), or checks made payable to Butler PTO. When calculating costs, please remember to add additional money for tax.

We need parent volunteers for assistance with student book selection and clean-up. Click here for details. Only volunteers who are signed up will be able to enter the building.*

If you have additional questions, please contact Amanda Bonsall.

You MUST have current clearances in order to volunteer. Click here for volunteer clearance information.

We have many volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Some only require an hour or two of your time. We always work in teams, so please come join us! Click here to view our volunteer opportunities and sign up today.

**Please note: All volunteer opportunities are subject to change based on District guidelines. You MUST have current clearances in order to volunteer.

The district is now using the Volunteer Tracker App to track volunteer clearances. Every CB volunteer will need to register, and upload their clearances.

Pennsylvania law requires all persons having direct contact with school children obtain background checks and clearances. Click here for the required clearances, along with links to the state’s websites, which may be found on the CBSD website.

**Please note: Butler will follow the Health and Safety plan of the District. At this time, volunteers are limited for specific activities.

We still have some classrooms that are in need of volunteers for Head Room Parent Coordinator (HRPC) and Party Planners. Please click here to view open slots. There will be a Classroom Volunteer Meet up on Friday, September 24 at 9:30 in the Butler Cafeteria. Details to follow.
