Principal's Message

Dear Butterfield Families,

As we prepare to welcome students back for the 2026–2027 school year, I want to share how excited I am to officially begin my first year as principal of Butterfield Elementary School.

Since joining the Butterfield community, I have already experienced the warmth and pride that make this school such a special place. I am grateful for the opportunity to partner with our dedicated staff, supportive families, and incredible students as we begin this new school year together.

At Butterfield, we believe that strong relationships between home and school are the foundation for student success. I am committed to fostering open communication, meaningful collaboration, and a welcoming environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn each day.

I look forward to getting to know our students and families through classroom visits, school events, and everyday interactions. Whether you're a returning Blue Jay family or joining our community for the first time, know that you are an important part of our school family.

Thank you for your partnership and for entrusting us with your child's education. Together, we will create a positive, engaging, and successful school year for every Blue Jay.

I look forward to welcoming everyone to Butterfield for the upcoming school year!

Hayley Schmelzle

Principal
