Join us on Friday, October 1 for our first FREE family event of the year! Bash will look a little different this year...but we're looking forward to trying something new and gathering with all our Butler friends.

We encourage you to bring your own dinner to share with your family, or take advantage of our pizza pre-order for only $11 per pie via MyPayments Plus. Pizzas will be delivered and distributed as they arrive. Deadline to pre-order pizza is 9pm on Thursday, September 30.

We'll have a DJ playing some tunes and yard games for some friendly competition. Feel free to bring your own cornhole, washers, yard games as well. Kona Ice will be paying us a visit for some delicious treats.

Butler’s Fall Book Fair is Monday, October 4th through Thursday, October 7th.  Book Fair flyers will be coming home this week! These flyers provide just a sampling of the books available at the book fair. 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. Please remember to calculate for tax. If you prefer to shop at home, click here for our online fair which runs October 1-14.

We need parent volunteers for assistance with student book selection and clean-up. Click here to sign up. 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.

This year, we will again use Google Forms to collect Directory information. We do not retain data from previous years, so you will need to submit information for each child this school year. It is quick and easy and will only require a few minutes of your time.

Click here to get started. This directory is password protected and the information is not used for any kind of solicitation. It is a great way for you to get connected to other families in the class, or in the Butler community, as teachers will not be publishing class lists. Many families found this to be a valuable resource during distance learning last school year.

We ask for a yearly family contribution to help offset the costs of providing great family activities and supporting educational initiatives at Butler. It also eliminates the need for numerous fundraisers during the year. Online payment through MyPaymentsPlus is available. Although the option for a contribution is listed for each Butler child in your household, we are only asking for one contribution of $15 per family. There is also an option to sponsor another family, and contribute an additional $15. Thank you for your consideration.

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. All volunteer opportunities are subject to change based on District guidelines. You MUST have current clearances in order to volunteer. Click here for volunteer clearance information.

**Please note: All volunteer opportunities are subject to change based on District guidelines. We ask that you please refrain from cell phone usage during your volunteer shift. Unfortunately, younger siblings are no longer permitted to accompany volunteers. You must have your volunteer clearances completed prior to signing up for lunch duty.
