Butler gymnasium

(Grades 3-6 only)

We're looking forward to our annual Haunted Gym (previously Haunted Hallway) scheduled for Friday, October 15 as 6th grade students transform Butler's gymnasium into a spooky attraction.

This event is open to Butler students in grades 3 to 6. Students must be wearing a wristband to be admitted. These wristbands will be put on before the end of school on the Friday of the event. This year we are also allowing former Butler students if their sibling is participating in the event and they are accompanied by a parent. All groups must be accompanied by an adult. No student only groups will be permitted.

Our Butler Boo fun has only just begun and it's spreading quickly throughout many neighborhoods.

If you have not yet been Booed and would like to be, please click here to submit your info.

If you are able to Boo another Butler family, please click here to view our list of families wanting to be Booed. Simply check the box in the last column to select a family. Click here to download everything you need to get booing!

P.S. This is a perfect reminder to please click here submit your info for our 2021-22 Butler Family Directory. It's a great resource for finding friends to Butler Boo.

Online sale runs through October 14

The book fair was a great success thanks our student, parent, and teacher shoppers! A big thank you to all of our volunteers who helped!

Thank you for all who participated in buying books from our teacher wishlists. We had 89 teacher submissions. We have 30 of these books purchased. If you would like to review the list to make a purchase from the online fair, please click here and claim a book for any teacher. Thank you for supporting our teacher’s classroom libraries!

We received limited copies of some popular books. If your child still needs to purchase a desired book, or to view additional selections, please go to our online book fair site open until October 14. Books will be shipped after the closing date.

Box Tops for Education is back. It will again be virtual. For more information, click the image.

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.
