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

Recognizing Columbus Day as a student holiday. Teachers will utilize today as an opportunity to participate in reporting student progress to parents and work in their classrooms.

With the support from our community, let’s elevate the teaching profession as critical to the role teachers play in the success of our great state of Texas and our nation.
