📚 WELCOME TO THE BISD FAMILY, PAYTON MCKEE! 📚 We're thrilled to introduce one of our newest educators joining Burkburnett ISD! Payton McKee, a proud 2020 BISD graduate, is returning home to inspire the next generation of Bulldogs as an English teacher at Burkburnett High School! Payton will graduate from Midwestern State University this May with a degree in Secondary Education, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome her to our teaching team. When not in the classroom, Payton enjoys taking her dogs on long walks, baking delicious treats, and traveling - a passion ignited during her study abroad experience in London, England! Payton is also planning her future with her wonderful fiancée, and we're delighted they've chosen to make Burkburnett their home. Payton's dedication to education stems from her desire to make meaningful connections with students and make learning relevant to their lives. She believes teachers have a profound impact on their students and is committed to making that difference every day. As a BISD alumna, Payton is especially excited to return to the district that shaped her and to give back to our community. She looks forward to inspiring students and fostering a love for English alongside our incredible staff. Please join us in welcoming Ms. McKee back home to Burkburnett ISD! #BISDProud #WelcomeHome #NewTeacher

BISD was proud to host resiliency influencer Brooks Gibbs. On Monday night, he delivered an inspirational message empowering BISD parents. The Boomtown Babes and BMS Choir performed, too!  Thanks to The River Assembly of God for providing hot dogs, BMS StuCo for providing water, and BMS S2S for serving free popcorn!  It was a stellar night, complete with tons of raffle prizes!  Dr. Gibbs also presented to BMS 6th and 7th graders, sharing about emotional resiliency.

Last week we surveyed our elementary staff and elementary parents to see if they would be willing to add 10 minutes (5 min in the a.m. and 5 min in the p.m.) to the elementary bell schedule for the rest of the year beginning next Monday so that all students could get Good Friday (April 18th) off. The surveys had overwhelming support for this. This does not effect the secondary bell schedules as they are already longer. So, we will have April 18th off. See Calendar attached. Elementary parents: This does not alter any other part of the school day. The drop off times for parents in the morning will not be changed to an earlier time, but kids need to be at school no later than 7:40.

Attention Parents!! Today is the day! Join us at 5 PM tonight for our parent seminar at the BMS. Raffle Prizes up for grabs! Win some great prizes from some amazing local sponsors! 

GOOD LUCK to Kaden Erskine as he heads to the State Powerlifting Meet this weekend! All of Burkburnett is behind you as you represent our community with your incredible strength and determination. Bring home that hardware, Kaden! 💪 #BulldogPride #StateMeet #BurkburnettStrong
