We’re preparing this year’s school directory to help families stay connected. This directory will include basic contact details—names, phone numbers, addresses, and emails—pulled from the Infinite Campus Portal when you updated your information at the start of the academic year.
If you prefer not to be included, email butlerespto@gmail.com by September 25, 2026 to opt out.
The directory and password will be shared in October with Butler students and their families.

There will be music, crafts, Halloween activities, and so much more!
Please Sign up here to assist with the event.

PTO events and activities would not be available without our volunteers and the financial contribution by the Butler families. In support of our efforts, we are asking for a $15 contribution per household (Butler Family) as the means to offset the expenses for organizing and holding the events.
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.
| |
YOU CAN DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!
Please check with your company to see if they offer a “Donor Match” program. In some cases, companies will match your contribution, so your $15 becomes $30!
Below is a list of some companies that had a corporate match program in the past.
Companies: Ally Financial Inc., Bank of America, Carter’s Inc., Charles River, Citigroup, Clemens Family Corporation, Comcast, Coca Cola Company, Endo International, First Weber Group, Glaxo Smith Kline, Harsco Corporation, Highmark, IBM, IQVIA, Johnson & Johnson, Kinder Morgan Inc., Life Scan, Merck & Co., Prudential Financial Inc., Target, United Health Group Incorporated, and many more.
