We are excited to inform you that the Kids’ Weekend Backpack Program will continue to service all K-4 Butler area elementary schools for the 2021-2022 school year.  The staff, parents, and community of these elementary schools as well as the Golden Tornado Scholastic Foundation, Inc. have come together to help fight hunger.  Though it seems hard for most of us to imagine, many students go home to a house with little or no food supplies.  They may receive breakfast and lunch at school during the week, but when the weekends come, they are limited as to how much they may have to eat.  This program is designed to assist students who may be in need of weekend food supplies.  At this time, there are no eligibility requirements for participating in the program and is free to anyone who feels that their child needs something more to eat over the weekend. 

Attention K-6th Grade Families!

Did you know that each week during the summer a new virtual learning adventure that includes engaging activities for students and families to do at home will be added to our virtual classroom?

The Butler Rock Orchestra visited McQuistion Elementary School and Center Avenue Community School where they treatedt he students to a amazing performances! Some of the students even joined in the fun by making their own instruments.

McQuistion Elementary School's weekly theme for the last week of May was "superheroes." The students had the opportunity to interview the “heroes among us” -- aka local heroes who work in our community. On Friday, a special guest -- Spiderman himself -- visited the school!

Dear BASD Families:

From in person instruction to remote learning and back again, this year has required an incredible amount of flexibility and patience from everyone. I’m very thankful for all of you and your continued support of our students, faculty, staff and schools this year.
