Kiosk for checking in & checking out
To my Butte View families:
Please remember to bring your ID in to check your student's out, and if you're staying to check yourself in. Thank you.
To make the process as smooth as possible, please note the following:
- Always bring your photo ID or driver’s license to use our convenient Kiosk at the front.
- If you are checking in your student, you do not need your ID.
- However, if you (or anyone you send) are checking a student out, an ID will be required. If an ID is not presented, I will need to ask you to retrieve it from your vehicle before proceeding.
I understand this may feel inconvenient or time-consuming, especially when you're in a hurry. To help things go smoothly, I recommend arriving a bit earlier if you need to check out your student by a certain time.
I’ve truly enjoyed assisting you all at the front desk, but as our school continues to grow, it’s become increasingly challenging for me to manage everything efficiently. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this change—it helps ensure the process is secure and organized for everyone.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via phone at 208-365-4691 or email at skelley@isd221.net.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
Warm regards,
Ms. Stephanie
Reminder: Students may have water, healthy snacks, and lunch from home

PLEASE LEAVE TOYS & TRADING CARDS HOME
Toys are only allowed if teachers have sent home a slip that tells you they are allowed, most of the time this will be stuffies.
If your student is caught with a stuffy or any toys that are not approved by the teachers they will be held in the office until the end of the day so they don't get lost.
