Butler Bear News

Thank you to everyone that came out to make our Kindergarten Carnival such a fun event! We can't wait to welcome all our new little Bears to school in August! 🐻

*If you have a "Good Thing" you would like to share, please email Mrs. Michal and it will be added to our next newsletter.

• Parents, come in on Monday or Friday to join your student(s) for lunch.
• Be advised, we do not allow lunch visitors on days that we are hosting school events, such as House Day, early release, etc.
• Make sure to bring your I.D. to check in at the front office before enjoying lunch with your student(s).

The safety of our students is our top priority. During morning drop off, please make sure to go through the car line if you are not parking to walk your student to the school. The parking lot is not a designated "drop and go" location. Also, please do not leave your student(s) at the door before our staff are scheduled to supervise at 7:05AM. We appreciate your support in assuring our students are safe.

It's that time of year again. Don't forget to set your clocks forward by one hour this weekend!

Field Day is right around the corner! To make this event successful, we need your help! Click on the Field Day flyer to sign up to volunteer at a station!

*Some reminders for Field Day:

• Make sure to send your student(s) to school in weather appropriate attire, along with a water bottle that has their name on it.
• Please have your student(s) to school on time so they can participate in all of the days' activities.
• If you want to watch your student(s) participate in their field day activities, you MUST volunteer for the opposite time slot. We are inviting a limited number of volunteers, so sign up fast!
• Due to Field Day logistics, we will not have families join for lunch on this day. We hope to see you back for lunch on Monday, April 14th.
• We will not be able to check out students after 1pm due to Field Day logistics.

We are so excited for the weather to be warming up for our annual Field Day festivities! Cool your student(s) down with a yummy Kona Ice as they rotate between exciting stations!

Club meeting days/times are subject to change. Make sure you're communicating with your club leader for real time information.

If your student(s) is/are participating in any after school clubs, please be sure to update PikMyKid to reflect the club they will be attending. If you do not see the club option, please call the school to assist you.

Please remember that we do not provide child supervision until 7:05 a.m. We ask that you keep your student(s) in your car until that time. We will then open the doors for students to get breakfast or go to class at 7:05 a.m. If you are dropping your student(s) off in the mornings, keep in mind that the drop off time is fastest between 7:05 and 7:20.

We want to make sure all of our students stay safe while on campus.
