Look at these kindergarteners learning and having so much fun while doing it!

Our 5th graders got to decorate a box and have their classmates vote for the one they thought was most creative!

Olivia won with her amazing VW Van design! The headlights even light up! Good Job!

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

We are excited to share with you an opportunity for our students to earn what we call Huskie Howlers (also known as "Howls"). This positive behavior program encourages students to embody our core values:

• H - Having Respect for Everyone
• O - Owning My Actions
• W - Working and Playing Safely
• L - Learning with Intention
• S - Showing Kindness

When staff members observe students exhibiting these qualities, they can award a Howls ticket. Each week, students that have earned a Howls ticket have the chance win a prize. This is randomly chosen!

Congratulations to our winners so far this year!

Family members are always welcome to join their children for lunch in our cafeteria. You may eat our lunch for $5 or bring your own. Please call ahead of time if you would like to eat our food so we can plan for it in the kitchen.

Also, please make sure you bring your photo ID so you are able to sign into our Kiosk.

Hope to see you soon!

Please be aware that for the safety of all students and families we need to make sure cars are not dropping off or picking up students in the parking lot. Also, we need to keep our handicap parking available to those that have the proper permit. Please do not park in the handicap parking space without a permit. Citations may be issued if you are parked in a handicap space without a permit.

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.

We would love to have your help with PTO this year! Please help make this school year amazing for our students. If interested in finding out more, please contact Jennifer Dee (butteviewpto@gmail.com) or email Dr. Love at BLove@ISD221.NET.
