Greetings,
Welcome to Butler Middle School and the 2021-2022 school year!
I hope you are enjoying the summer and some quality time with your children. They are so amazing and change so much during their middle school years. We hope to be a support to their development throughout their time at Butler Middle School.
Again, I want to express my appreciation to our community for your support and efforts throughout the last year. It was a challenging year for everyone in so many different ways. I am grateful to our school community and how we worked together to mitigate risks and keep our school a safe place. Truly, Thank You!!!!
For those of you who are new to our school, Welcome! I try to send out a regular email, The Bruin Bite, each week starting in August. Most weeks, I am successful. The purpose of this email is to help provide parents information to help you support your children at school. I hope it is a resource for you.
As the summer gets underway, I wanted to be sure you have some of the important dates and information so we are all ready when school begins. Sometime in mid-July you should receive a postcard from the district with online registration information. Online Registration will begin August 2nd.
