LAST CALL - BUTLER FAMILY DIRECTORY

We’re preparing this year’s school directory to help families stay connected. This directory will include basic contact details pulled from the Infinite Campus Portal —names, phone numbers, addresses, and emails.

The directory and password will be shared in October with Butler students and their families.

If you prefer not to be included, email butlerespto@gmail.com by Sept. 25, 2026 to opt out.

BOOK VENDING MACHINE

HELP MAKE LUNCTIME SPECIAL FOR OUR KIDS

ADVANCED SIGN UP REQUIRED

TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE - JOIN US

Butler is famous for its family-friendly events. But, our events only happen because families volunteer. We have opportunities for everyone—whether you can help for an hour, grab supplies from the store, or volunteer during the day, evening, or weekend.

Here's how it works: Sign up for events that interest you. The event Chairperson will reach out, introduce themselves, and let you know exactly how you can help. No commitment—just a conversation.

Together, we make Butler amazing!

DONATE TODAY

Don't have time to volunteer?

No problem!

The Butler PTO is collecting a $15 contribution per household (Butler Family) as the means to offset the expenses for organizing and holding the events and activities.

For those who wish, you can sponsor another Butler family’s $15 contribution. Payment is preferred through MyPaymentsPlus or submit a check with this form.

CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

As a Homeroom Coordinator or Party Planner, you'll get a front-row seat to the excitement of the school year; supporting your teacher in meaningful ways, and helping to create fun experiences for the class.

Email butlerespto@gmail.com  to learn more and get involved.

We are hoping to fill the following classroom volunteer positions ASAP!
