In order to volunteer in the classroom, you must have current volunteer clearances through CBSD. ***Failure to gain CBSD volunteer credentials may prohibit your ability to support any upcoming Halloween parties.*** Questions? Contact Erin McCreary.

The process is EASY and all done online using the Volunteer Tracker App. 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.

We currently have at least 16 families requesting to be boo'ed. If you submitted your info and were already boo'ed, please check off your name here.

Butler Bear Clubs is a winter enrichment program created to provide fun opportunities during the winter months. Classes are six weeks in February 7 - March 18 We hope to provide a variety of options: sports, dance, arts, crafts and STEM. 

Maybe you teach music or theater, are affiliated with a sports or dance facility, are someone who is into Robotics or eSports? At this time we are specifically looking for your input for new clubs:

Drop us an email. We’re looking for ideas that appeal to all kinds of interests and will see if it’s something that we can add to our offerings! Just interested in learning more about Clubs?
