Superintendent's Letter - Monday, March 7, 2022

March 7, 2022


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


WOW, it’s already March and Spring Break is upon us next week. 


As we have celebrated Texas Independence Day and Texas Public Schools Week, it is important to remember the service that we provide as we focus on the mission of educating our students. Burton ISD stays committed to the purpose and strategic goals of our community to prioritize students. Our teachers show up to not only teach, but to encourage the appreciation for learning. We make an everyday impact! “Education is the movement from darkness to light.” – Allan Bloom


The 2020-2021 School Report Cards (SRC) are available on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) website which can be accessed @ http://tea.texas.gov/perfreport/src/index.html. The SRC combines accountability ratings, data from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), and financial information to give a broad view of campus performance. Available for each campus in Texas, the SRC is intended specifically to inform parents and guardians about a school’s individual characteristics and its academic performance. Due to COVID-19, campuses and districts received a label of Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster for the 2020-2021 school year. Burton ISD not only reaches the expectations of accountability, but surpasses state averages in most areas. We are definitely moving forward in Burton ISD.


We welcome you to 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 are 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 semester. 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. We are prepared to Dream Big, Sparkle More, and Shine Bright as the Future is Now for the Burton Panthers in 2022!!! Have a blessed week and GO BIG RED!
