Parents,
Please send an email to the PTA, to join their email list. There are many things throughout the school year that they send emails about. Last year they sent out volunteer opportunities, parent reminders for activities, forwarded emails from the Principal, and sent alerts about Canyon's District Board Meetings and topics of interest, etc...
Our email address is: butlerelempta@gmail.com
Just email them with "add me" in the subject line and that is all that is needed.
Thank you for your help.
