At Butler Area School District, we believe learning is a lifelong journey, and it doesn’t just happen within the walls of a classroom.

We hope you'll take some time to read our annual "Back to School" publication to learn more about the exciting opportunities for learning, growth and connection at Butler Area School District this year.

Summer is still in full swing, but if you are looking ahead to the first day of school, here are a few things you can do now to be prepared!

Thanks to the dedication of several Broad Street Elementary School families and staff members who have volunteered their time to water and weed over the summer, our school gardens are thriving!

Butler Area School District is committed to transforming teaching and learning through a personalized learning approach. Our ongoing efforts include professional development opportunities, the design of a new teacher evaluation system aligned with personalized learning practices, strategic investments in instructional materials that support individualized instruction, and the purchase of flexible furniture to accommodate diverse seating arrangements, particularly at the secondary level. Much of this work has been made possible through generous grant funding.

Beginning in October 2024, all elementary schools will resume selling snacks and a la carte items for the new school year. All items sold meet the USDA’s Smart Snack Guidelines.

For more information about these guidelines, you can visit the USDA website or view the flyer.  

Broad Street Elementary School scholars participated in Remake Learning Days in May.

The Remake Learning Day Film Academy event allowed for a partnership with WQED Film Academy and Broad Street Elementary School. The scholars learned that a storyboard is a visual representation of film sequence and breaks down the action into individual panels. Next, they got to work creating their own storyboard. Many of Broad Street scholars hope to create their own movie one day. This exciting day also revealed that we have many talented writers and illustrators at BSES.

Scholars and their teachers also enjoyed remake learning time within their classroom. Below you will find details of the varied grade level activities. 

The Golden Tornado Scholastic Foundation, Inc.'s 21st annual Fine Arts & Beyond (FAB) Showcase was a great success. The student artwork was incredible and the student musical performances were outstanding. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success!
