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?

Starting Monday, June 7th, the activities can be found on summer learning website. Enter Here! 

Be sure to check back each week to see what new adventure awaits!

Summit Elementary School students recently had a visit from Herman Volunteer Fire Company. A special thank you to Herman Volunteer Fire Company for providing an excellent fire education program for Summit Elementary School students! 

Dear BASD Families: 

There’s no doubt this has been a challenging year for most of us. 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.
