It’s the first day of school for some students in the Butler Area School District.
All elementary students in kindergarten through 5th grade will have a full day of school today.
However, secondary students are beginning the year on a staggered schedule.
8th graders along with high school juniors and seniors will have a half-day of school today. Meanwhile, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th graders will have full-day tomorrow.
This also marks the first time in over 100 years that the former Junior High School, the red brick building on North Street, will not have any students inside during the school year.
