Happy Fall Butler Elementary! Nov 3, 2025
The weather is cooling and daylight is shortening. Please ensure your student is dressed for the weather.
Thank you!

We had many families share treats last month. During parent teacher conferences our staff enjoyed the extra goodies and drinks that families donated. We appreciate all the support from families during parent teacher conferences and look forward to building a positive partnership.

Attendance Matters
Attendance at school is the second highest determining factor of our students' success at school and missing just 2 days a month means a child misses 10% of the school year. Colorado districts and schools are required to follow many Colorado statutes related to compulsory attendance. Mandated reporting includes student
attendance data in several areas including those below:
1. Chronically Absent: A student absent 10 percent or more of the days enrolled during the school year is chronically absent. All absences are included – unexcused, excused and suspensions. The rate is the percentage of students enrolled who are chronically absent
2. Truancy: Truancy is defined as an unexcused absence. The rate is calculated by dividing the reported Total Student Days Unexcused Absences by the Total Student Days Possible.
3. Habitually Truant (Student Count): A student is counted as habitually truant if the student has four unexcused absences in one month and/or 10 absences in one school year.
If you have any questions with regard to your students' attendance please check your Infinite Campus parent portal or contact the main office.
