______________________________________________________________________________ SCHOOL BREAKFAST PROGRAM. Many families today do not have time to eat a
healthy breakfast before getting everyone out the door to school and work. East Butler Public
Schools is considering starting a Breakfast Program at the beginning of 2nd Semester of the
2014-2015 school year. We are asking that families take time and fill out a brief survey
regarding a school breakfast program. The survey can be found on the front page of our
school website at www.ebutlertigers.org. Thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey!!
Please contact Mr. Eldridge, if you have any questions at 402-545-2081 or

IMPORTANT BUS NOTES:
*Due to early activity leaving times and the lack of substitute bus drivers, some routes may be
adjusted daily. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
*If a route is divided into vans due to lack of substitute drivers, an announcement will be
made in the morning for students who ride that route to report to the office so a count can be
taken to know how many vehicles/drivers we will need for the route. If a student does not
report to the office and shows up at the vans after school, they will be instructed to call their
parents to pick them up.
*There has been concerns with students missing the bus. Busses will leave Brainard at 3:30
P.M. If a student misses the bus, the student will need to call home to be picked up. The
busses will not be called back to the school.
