Classes run thru March 15
- Teachers have been notified of dismissal to on-site Butler Bear Clubs, but please remind your children of their club so that they do not come home when you are not planning for it.
- Please contact the Butler Bear Club teacher if there are any changes with dismissal or attendance. Their contact information is provided in the activity listing and your confirmation letter.
- If school is closed for any reason, Butler Bear Clubs held at Butler are cancelled for that day. Please contact off-site locations directly for possible weather related cancellations. Club contact information can be found in your confirmation emails from SignUpGenius or in the Activity/Class Listing below.
- Please be available through the contact number you provided in case of any issues.
- Children in the after care program will report to after care as normal and be sent to their Butler Bear Club from there. Their names were not provided to the classroom teacher. After care has been provided a list of BBC participants. They will escort them to club and sign them out. Parents will sign children out from after care only.
- Please enter and exit via the gym door for BBC pick up at 5:00. There will be a sign in/out at this door for the safety of the children. Please be patient with this process. Entry into the building will begin at 4:50, but please wait until class is dismissed to retrieve your child.
Lastly, PLEASE park in the lot. It is a fire hazard to park along the sidewalk against the school and has a potential for ticketing.
