Superintendent's Letter

February 19, 2024

What a great time to be a Burton Panther!!!

February is a fun month full of “love and giving”. Today is acknowledged as Presidents’ Day. For Burton ISD, it is designated as a student holiday and a Professional Staff Development Day. 

This month’s character education focus for Burton ISD is HONESTY! Honesty is being truthful. Honesty means to develop a practice of speaking truth throughout life. A person who practices honesty in his/her life, shows good behavior, follows rules and regulations, maintains discipline, and possesses a strong moral character.

Burton ISD Building Project Update: Great looking football field with all of the markings! Construction progress is moving forward. Burton ISD continues to host on-site daily and weekly meetings with contractors and suppliers to identify and discuss the building project. 

Election Day is Saturday, May 4, 2024. Construction will be happening in and around the rock building on election day, so the School Board Election location will be changed to the Burton Community Center. Early voting begins April 22nd through April 30th @ the Washington County Court House Annex in Brenham.   

Burton ISD welcomes your involvement, appreciates everyone’s effort to collaborate, and is thankful for your support throughout the Facilities Construction Project process. Please email questions to bondinfo@stu.burtonisd.net.

Please feel free to come visit Burton Independent School District and thank you in advance for taking time to find out more about our schools, our professional staff, our exemplary students, and our excellent academic programs. Burton Schools is a perfect place to get an education that will prepare your child for a bright future. 

There is a tremendous amount of community support that goes into the success of our programs in Burton ISD. We appreciate everyone who helps make a positive impact on our schools. All of us working cooperatively make Burton ISD better together. So very proud to be a BURTON PANTHER! 

Lots of great things going on this school year. Follow all of our activities on the Burton ISD website @ www.burtonisd.net, check out the Burton ISD app, and keep up with the latest happenings on the Burton ISD Facebook page and other social media venues. 

The pride of the Burton Panthers is embedded in all of us whether we are a student, an alumni, a community member, a staff member and employee, a parent, board member and/or a proud supporter and in many cases all of the above. We love our Panthers and like to think that the culture we are providing in educating our students is a reason why parents want their children to attend Burton ISD. We value our school district and always put students first. For the 2023-2024 school year, Learning is Llamazing as we Rise Up @ Burton ISD!!!  Have a blessed day and GO BIG RED!!!
