A Message From Your Principal
Dear BC Families:
This Fall, Teacher-Parent-Student Virtual Conferences will be scheduled on the evening of Wednesday, October 28 and all day on Thursday, October 29. There will be no school on Thursday and Friday, October 29th and 30th. The purpose of Fall Conferences is to meet with all parents in order to discuss student progress. Interpreters will be provided for families requiring the service. Often, busy schedules limit the time that teachers and parents can share information, so making the most of opportunities such as conferences becomes even more important. Please make this conference a high priority for communicating with your child’s teacher!
Butler Creek is using PTCFast.com to make signups as convenient as possible this year. Please click on the link below to begin the process. You will then be able to select your child's teachers (including Music and PE), and the day and appointment time that you prefer. You can also find the link on the Butler Creek website. After signing up, you will receive an appointment confirmation email. If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, please check your SPAM or Junk folder.
Please sign up for an appointment by Friday, October 23. After you have signed up, teachers will have a Zoom link posted in their virtual classrooms for you to click on and join your child’s conference on the 28th or 29th.

If you encounter any problems, please contact the office or your child’s teacher.
The teachers at Butler Creek look forward to the opportunity to work with parents/guardians to support their children’s educational success. Thank you for participating in conferences this fall.
Sincerely,
Gayle Sideris, Principal
