As we enter the final nine weeks of the school year, I want to thank you for your flexibility and assistance in helping us to try and operate as normally as possible. We continue to need your help. Butler County’s covid numbers have increased to the substantial range for the last two weeks. My ask of you is if your child feels ill or has symptoms that could be COVID related, please keep him or her home until you consult with a medical professional.
Elementary School families are invited to attend a free virtual Code Night on April 26, 2021 at 6:00 pm. This is a free, fun and valuable experience for students in grades K-5 and their families. No sign up is required. No coding experience is needed. Just join the livestream and get ready to have some fun!
As we plan for the 2021-2022 school year, we want to ensure we are in the position to meet the individual needs of all of our students and families. This includes once again offering a traditional brick and mortar in person instruction learning pathway as well as the BASD Cyber Learning Program, which is fully online.
The 2021 Very Special Arts Gallery is now available!
The Very Special Art Exhibit event that is hosted annually by Midwestern Intermediate Unit 4 was held virtually this year. You can now see the artwork that was included in the exhibit. Beautiful works of art created by Butler Area School District students are featured on slides 8-17.

Butler County remains in the Moderate Level for Community spread of COVID-19. Therefore, our mode of operation for students in the in person learning pathway for the week of March 29, 2021 will be:
This will be our operating status as long as Butler County remains in the moderate range. If something changes, we will notify families.
As you may be aware, the weather forecast for tonight into Friday calls for wind gusts exceeding 50 mph. With rain also in the forecast, this could lead to power outages and connectivity issues. As we plan for this forecasted severe weather and the potential impacts, we are sending learning materials home with students as a precautionary measure. Please note the learning activities will not require computer-based applications.
Listed below are the state mandated health screenings for all Pennsylvania students. These screenings are provided during the school day by our school nurses. If your child is enrolled in the BASD Cyber Learning Program or they are homeschooled, they are still entitled to these screenings. You may contact your building nurse to make arrangements to bring your child into the school. You may also choose to decline these services.
