Butler Elementary values the opportunities students have attending recess each day. In the winter months, we follow a district approved Weather Watch chart that accounts for air temperature and wind chill. Students will either participate in a:

• Full 30-minute recess outdoors if temperatures are comfortable. (green)
• Full 30-minute recess indoors if temperatures are too cold. (red)
• Partial indoor/outdoor 30-minute recess if temps are in the "caution" level. (yellow)

Be mindful that your child should dress accordingly each morning from home with the outside temperatures in mind. We understand many students like to dress in shorts or t-shirts all year long but understand we will not base our inside/outside decisions based upon student dress. So, please be sure your child is dressed accordingly as we believe students should get as much fresh air as possible during the school day.

As a reminder, when Central Bucks School District operates on a 2-hour delayed schedule, all grade levels will operate on a modified schedule with AM Arrival beginning at 10:45 AM.

Please note for our half-day AM/PM Kindergarten Program that C-Schools will operate on an adjusted schedule:

"2-Hour Delayed Opening" AM/PM Schedule - All Central Bucks C-Schools -

• AM Students 11:05 AM – 12:50 PM
• PM Students 2:00 PM – 3:45 PM

Our Butler PTO strives to create events that celebrate our school community! This week's event, in particular, was extra special and sweet! While supporting a local business, our students and their families enjoyed some ice cream on Wednesday, 1/11 - in return, Owowcow presented a check to the PTO which will be used for upcoming school events and initiatives.

Students within Miss Lawn’s room work throughout the day and earn tickets when they are active participants in their learning. In the beginning of the school year, Jacob H. and Miss Lawn were discussing fundraiser in which the person gets ‘pied’. Jacob worked very hard to earn 200 tickets. As an earned reward, he was able to ‘pie’ Miss Lawn. It was a fun event for the other Second graders to observe!!

Butler Elementary School prides itself on upholding to the highest standards of conduct and good work. When students demonstrate and emulate our Positive Paw Power attributes, it is noticed and acknowledged. Students receive Power Paw slips and place in our collecting bin in hopes of a special selection, which may include a unique Butler t-shirt or Breakfast with the Principals! With this week's breakfast, students had special time with Principals (Mr. Funseth & Dr. Doherty) and Student Counselors (Mrs. Milotich & Mrs. O'Connell) while being honored with a special certificate acknowledging their effort. Students work hard at helping our building rise to the top each and every day!

Butler Elementary School practices the Paw Power Attributes of B.U.T.L.E.R.

Butler (at its Best!); Understanding; Teamwork; Leadership; Educational Excellence; Respect

Each week, students earn Positive Paw Powers for their good behaviors and positive attitudes at school. Children enter them into our collection bin where names are then drawn for a special treat each Friday for every grade level.
