Dr. Owen will be live on the Burkburnett ISD Facebook page on Thursday, January 22, at 12:20 PM, with special guest Jody Littleton, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach.
If you have any questions for Dr. Owen, please submit them in the comment section on our Facebook post in advance, and he will address them live. Please keep all questions focused on district- or campus-level policies, processes, or facilities. Dr. Owen will not be answering questions regarding specific personnel or student situations. He will begin with a district update, followed by responses to your submitted questions. The huddle will conclude with a live Q&A, allowing participants to ask questions in real time.
Please note the daytime scheduling: Dr. Owen is filming during school hours so our video students can benefit from this hands-on learning experience. If you are unable to watch live, a replay will be available. We hope you will take the time to join these huddles and find both the information and format beneficial.
Here is the #OvertonOverview for the week of 1/12. Notice that we have 2 assessments this week : MAP Science and iReady Reading. This is a great opportunity for you, teachers and most importantly, students, see how much they have grown. As we say EVERYDAY: Best effort from EVEYONE, EVERYDAY! That is the only expectation.

📊 Gameday is coming! 📊
Beginning next week, our students will begin their Middle-of-the-Year i-Ready and MAP assessments. This is a great opportunity for students to show what they know and for teachers to see the progress our learners have made so far this year.
These assessments also give families valuable insight into where their child is on their academic journey. i-Ready and MAP provide data, not grades, and teachers use this information to guide instruction—both to support students who need extra help and to extend learning for those ready for more challenge.
We want our students to feel excited, not anxious. Around here, we call this GAMEDAY! Everyone has put in the work behind the scenes, and now it’s time to go out and perform.
We say it every day: “Best effort from everyone, every day.”
That’s the only expectation—BEST effort. We encourage you to begin having these conversations with your child at home as well.
Let’s cheer our students on as they show how much they’ve grown! 💪📚
