Superintendent's Letter - Monday, May 17, 2021

 Good morning from BURTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT-#TEAMBURTON!!! 


May 17, 2021 


Praying for health and wellness!!!


YAY! We took the masks off and are fortunate to not have any current positive or close contact quarantine COVID-19 situations. Burton ISD will continue to provide a clean, healthy, and sanitized work environment for our students and staff! Our hopes for the rest of the school year are to keep pushing through with as much “normal” Spring busyness as possible. We have band concerts, awards assemblies, banquets, presentations, field trips, special days, and of course graduation planned for our students after they have conquered the testing season. So very proud of how our students, staff, parents, and the community have helped get us through a very different kind of school year! Thank you! 


Burton ISD is gearing up for the summer and it could not be more important right now than to prepare your students for some learning engagement in the next few months. Encourage outdoor opportunities to study the environment, collaborate fun get-togethers with peers and other family members, provide times to read a good book and enhance comprehension skills, and just enjoy being together. As we grow older, we are always learning! 

 

After COVID-19, we all need healing, support and encouragement to reconnect with learning and the future of education. We know the importance of social and emotional learning, especially in the times we are living in. We know the importance of culture in learning, post-pandemic era should emphasize that our students need and deserve schools that are student-centered.


I read recently about taking a moment to “pause”. Sometimes our heart tanks feel empty and need to be refilled. It’s okay to take some time to let good thoughts and feelings fill you up. No matter what age-ALL of us can be caught running on empty. Our lives are so busy and so full that it can literally dry your soul out. Remember to take time to refill with the goodness that will keep the light in your eyes shining through and make you smile. Take a moment to refill with good vibes every day--scripture, prayer, sunshine, worship, song, laughter, friends, and hugs. When you refill your empty, you’ll find overflowing joy and happiness.

I would like to give a huge “shout-out” to GeoSouthern for donating $20,000 towards the Elementary Playground renovations. It will certainly go a long way in helping to provide a safe and updated area for our students to enjoy outdoor activities. We are very appreciative of this partnership. Thank you!!!


We welcome you to visit one of the finest school districts in the state of Texas 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. Proud to be a BURTON PANTHER!
