Butler Elementary Oct. Newsletter
Mrs. Libby Nickoli, Principal
We are so excited that we have been in session for six weeks! Although we had some illness at the start of the school year and were short-handed staff-wise, so many individuals stepped up in order for us to remain open! The Valley is full of hard-working individuals and Butler Elementary is incredibly fortunate to have those people working for and with your children!
Our families have been very proactive when it comes to the health and safety of others. Keeping your children home when they are sick has been instrumental in our ability to stay open. Thank you!
We will be allowing volunteers back into the building. If you are interested in being a volunteer, you will need to be fingerprinted and have a background check completed. Our Board of Education can help with this; please call ahead to make an appointment at 419-886-3855.
Sincerely,
Libby Nickoli, Principal
