The Butler Area School District is providing more details to what they’re calling a “soft-start” to begin the school year.
According to an email from Superintendent Dr. Brian White, students in 6th through 12th grade will have a staggered approach to start the year.
Intermediate High School Soft Start
- Grade 6: Sept. 7 – full day (No school on 9/6)
- Grade 7: Sept. 7 – full day (No school on 9/6)
- Grade 8: Sept. 6 – half day from 7:30-11 am (No school on 9/7)
Senior High School Soft Start
- Grade 9: Sept. 7 – full day (No school on 9/6)
- Grade 10: Sept. 7 – full day (No school on 9/6, except Vo-Tech students)
- Grade 11: Sept. 6 – half day from 7:37-11 am with Vo-Tech dismissal at 12 pm (No school on 9/7, except Vo-Tech students)
- Grade 12: Sept. 6 – half day from 7:37 -11 am with Vo-Tech dismissal at 12 pm (No school on 9/7, except Vo-Tech students)

Dr. White says this essentially serves as an orientation day for students so they can get acclimated to the new building.
All elementary students will begin classes on September 6th.
