“If you have a sophomore or junior student, there will be two Butler college representatives who are coming to the school on Monday - 4/8 - to speak to them about taking Butler classes in the fall. There are MANY options for courses to take while in high school and there’s scholarships available to help cover some costs and discounted prices for courses.
If this is something your student might be interested in, let them know they need to speak to the representatives! They will need to know their social security numbers for this. Please let Mrs. McMichael know if you have any questions!”
Centre USD #397 is blessed with some of the best paraprofessionals in the business. Thank you for your dedication to our students! You are greatly appreciated!
