Burton ISD Weather Update
In preparation of upcoming inclement weather, we are NOT anticipating any changes to school operations at this time. Burton ISD is routinely checking the weather forecast and staying connected to the emergency management services and districts in our area. While it is going to be cold and wet on Thursday and Friday we are not predicted to have frozen precipitation and should be able to get to and from school safely as usual.
We will continue to monitor weather conditions and update you with any changes to school operations on all Burton ISD communication platforms. Regular hours and operations will be maintained at this time.
Stay safe and warm!

Coach Morris' 8th grade Professional Communications Class had an amazing opportunity today! Some of the seniors came to conduct mock job interviews, providing her 8th graders with valuable real-world experience and insights. The seniors were able to refine their interviewing and leadership skills, while the 8th graders showcased the resumes and cover letters they created in Coach Morris' class.
A huge thank you to our seniors for taking the time to mentor and guide our students!⭐️💼🎓

Staff & students took a well-deserved break for Thanksgiving, but construction did not stop. These are photos of the progress as of November 19. After the soil test is completed, the foundation will be poured, followed by the commencement of plumbing and electrical work.
The athletic complex's framing will include key areas such as the gymnasium, locker rooms, weight room, and concession area, designed to support both team and spectator needs. The concession area will be strategically located for easy access during events.
Additionally, the framing of the high school building will include spacious classrooms designed for modern learning environments, along with administrative offices to support faculty, staff, and student services.
The pouring of concrete around the stadium will create additional parking spaces to accommodate increased traffic and provide more convenient access. This expansion will not only support event parking but also facilitate smoother student drop-off and pick-up during the morning and afternoon hours. The new concrete surfaces will help manage traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety for both students and parents during peak times. Additionally, the expanded parking area will ensure that there is ample space for visitors attending athletic events and school activities.
Stay tuned for images of the new wall framing and ductwork that has been installed for classrooms & the continued progress on subgrade electrical & sewer lines for the band hall phase.
LAST CALL FOR LADY PANTHER BASKETBALL SHIRTS! Orders are due today!
