Bear Nation News

Greetings Butler Families,

October is flying by! It seems like just yesterday we were starting school. It was another great week. Our 2nd and 3rd graders had a visit from Author Nancy So Miller. Each student received a copy of her book. Our PreK students went to the Bull Street Library for story time. And Butler hosted a successful Trunk or Treat! Thank you to all our families who sent candy and who came out to enjoy the event.

There is one more week to order spirit shirts on SchoolCash online. There are two styles available. Orders will close on October 30th. Remember that spirit shirts can be worn as a uniform top any time. Please use the link to access. Shirts are $10.00.

With the understanding that student behavior is influenced by the way students are dressed and that no student should dress in a manner that is disruptive or has an adverse effect on school activities, the following mandatory uniform standards have been developed. Students are expected to dress in the school uniform during the school day, on field trips, and during school-related activities.

Please make note below:

• Students may wear any Butler Bear spirit shirt with uniform bottoms (as an alternative uniform shirt) daily. Spirits shirts will be sold throughout the year.
• Students may wear black uniform pants or skirts as a part of the uniform.
• School-sponsored hoodies will be permitted to wear.

Non-Uniform Days:

• Butler will now hold two dress down days per month. SCCPSS is promoting a cashless system. To comply, Butler will offer an opportunity for parents to make a one time payment of $10.50 for all scheduled dress down days during the year using school cash.
