Superintendent's Letter

May 8, 2023

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

Welcome to the Burton Independent School District weekly update. Bond Project information will be shared as it pertains to the planning and construction of our new facilities.

Construction Job Superintendent Rob Ogletree and Project Manager Stad Tomlinson with DSA Construction Management report that the rain continues to cause delays in the construction schedule that cannot be avoided. However, contractors are ready to move in as soon as the job site is adequately dried up. At every opportunity when the sun is out and it is not raining, the chemical injection process is being implemented to provide soil samples that will meet lab specifications for compaction and moisture. Burton ISD appreciates everyone’s effort to collaborate on this project to keep moving forward. Email any questions to bondinfo@stu.burtonisd.net.

It is that time of year for STAAR and End of Course Exam Testing while also being Teacher Appreciation Week. Our staff and students have worked diligently to prepare for these assessments. We are expecting  positive results. Please remember to thank our educators for all they do for Burton Schools. We appreciate our Staff! Thank you!!!

Congratulations to Burton Lady Panther Softball for a great season. Look forward to watching these young ladies continue to excel in the future with their athleticism. Congratulations to Burton Panther Baseball. Good luck with the next game(s) vs Thorndale on Thursday and Friday @ 7:00 p.m. in Mumford and on Saturday pending the outcome of the first 2 games. Celebrating all Burton Panther Athletes on Wednesday, May 10th @ 6:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium @ the annual Athletic Banquet.   

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY ON SUNDAY, MAY 14TH!!!

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 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 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 2022-2023 school year, Learning is Our Superpower as we are Building Our Future!!! Have a blessed day! GO BIG RED!!!
