Butler - THINK BIG!
Important Announcements
VOLUNTEERING in the CLASSROOM (PTO, Cafeteria Volunteers and Field Trip Chaperones)
All Central Bucks School District Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the staff, students and programs of our schools. That could not be more true at Butler, where we receive amazing support from our families each school-day of the year! Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Butler!
We have been asked by District Administration to share this reminder that "as of July 2016, Pennsylvania law requires all persons having direct contact with school children obtain background checks and clearances."
For a link to the required forms and background checks, please visit the CBSD Human Resources Volunteer Page by clicking here.
Please note - In most cases, any parent who wishes to support the school through volunteering - (Classroom, Field Trip, Homeroom Parent, PTO Events, etc.) - will be required to obtain PA Clearances - good for 5-years by PA State Law.
Please click the Frequently Asked Questions for general information about this law and to read detailed information provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Please contact Butler Offices for any other questions.

Mrs. Zubek's 2nd Grade Spreads Kindness with Baby Blankets
In honor of spreading kindness in our community, Mrs. Zubak’s second grade students celebrated Valentine’s Day by opening their hearts and making “Baby Blanket Valentines” to deliver to babies-in-need. The cozy fleece blankets will be donated to The Baby Bureau, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing “Baby Bundles” of clothing and other items to under-served babies in our community. Thank You Zubaks!
