Veterans 🪖
Butler Families,
We are looking forward to celebrating Veterans Day at Butler. We would like your help adding your proud veterans to our "Wall of Fame" and recognizing them for their service. Please stop by our office or cafeteria and fill out a star for each family member, and provide their name, branch of service, and years served.
Thank you for helping us recognize our wonderful men and women in uniform! 🔴 🤍 🔵
Summit Stars
We are very grateful for our Team at Butler and love celebrating their EXCELLENCE!
Both of these Stars were recognized for the long-term impact they have made, and continue to make, on the lives of our Broncos! Thank y'all both for the difference you are making in our community!

Here is a recent celebration for our Staff!

Anti-Bullying Month
As we enter November, our campus is focusing our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons on preventing bullying and cultivating a culture of empathy, connection, and kindness throughout our school and community. We encourage you to review the flyer below for practical ways to support your Bronco in making safe, positive choices both at home and when using technology. Together, we can ensure our students feel supported and empowered every day. Look out for additional resources coming later this month to help you protect your children online and establish a responsible family technology plan!

Butler Dress Code
Below is a flyer modeling our expectations for the Butler Dress Code.
Please note the following key points:
- Oversized hoodies and shirts should be tucked in or worn with shorts/pants in dress code.
- Shirts and tops must touch the waist of pants/skirts when the student is standing upright.
- Shorts, skirts, and dresses should be longer than fingertip length when arms are at the sides.
Straps on tops must be at least two inches wide.
For a complete outline of the dress code, please refer to the attached Butler Dress Code Policy and the District Student Code of Conduct.
This policy helps maintain a comfortable and respectful environment for all students. We kindly ask that you support your child in following these guidelines as they prepare for school each day. In the event of a dress code violation, students will either be asked to change into clothes provided on campus or parents will be contacted to bring a change of clothes.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification.
