Dear Butterfield Community,
This winter has been characterized with sub-freezing temps, weeks
of inside recess, and lots of identification showing at the office. Here is some
information about changes with the online
payment for school lunch, some safety
updates, upcoming events, and
our lost and found.
Change in Online
Payment for School Lunch:
The online website, PayPams, will only be available starting in May. All online payments will then be
made for free on your Skyward Family Access Account. Some of the features of this new system
include: deposit money with credit cards instantly and receive email
notifications when lunch balance is getting low. https://skystu.jordan.k12.ut.us Once logged in, click on the Food Service
link. If you have any questions with
this process, please contact the lunch clerk at the school 801-254-0737.
Safety Updates:
·
The front doors to the building are the only
ones that will remain unlocked. All
adult traffic is funneled through the office (in/out). If you wish to go enter the building during
school hours to volunteer or attend an event, please have identification to
show at check-in. Please remind your
other visiting family members such as the other parent and/or grandparents to
have ID ready to show. Thanks for coming
in! Don’t forget to sign out at the office and return your visitor badge.
·
We are keeping the portable doors locked
and students have been instructed to only open the door to students and adults
who have a visible ID indicating that they have already checked in at the
office.
·
If you plan to chaperone a field trip,
you will need to pick up a form at the office to take to the district human
resource department where you can be fingerprinted and have a background check
done at no cost to the volunteer.
Anytime students have unsupervised access to students (working with
students outside of the classroom or supervising a group of students on a field
trip) you need to have undergone a background check.
·
Some parents are parking on the wrong side of
the road in the back of the school that requires students to jaywalk,
putting themselves at risk. Also, there
are students that need to cross at that unattended crosswalk behind the school,
so please be cautious and aware.
·
Also, for safety we need to remind those
entering the parking lot in the front of the school to actually park and
walk their student(s) to the crosswalk.
Please do not use this as a drop off area. Students walking unattended through the parking
lot is unsafe and cars dropping off in the parking lot causes congestion to
those parking in the parking lot.
·
If you have a special place where you park to
pick up your student(s) after school, please be mindful of your
surroundings. Check to make sure that
you are not blocking a driveway, too close to an intersection or causing any
potential safety risks.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND COOPERATION TO KEEP CONDITIONS AS SAFE
AS POSSIBLE FOR OUR STUDENTS.

Lost and Found:
Occasionally, our Lost and Found collection at the school
becomes more than we have room to store.
Please be advised that our plan will be to set out lost and found items during
parent teacher conference times. After
our semi-annual parent teacher conferences, we will donate remaining items to
local charities. We encourage you to
somehow label their belongings. Also, know that lost and found items are
typically kept in the hallway near the lunchroom and are available for
retrieval on a daily basis.
