STREAM Corner

Ahoy from the Burnet STREAM Team!

Happy March! In lieu of hosting our 2nd annual Family Resource Fair on campus this year, we will be sending out a link to our virtual Spring STREAM Showcase, which will include a spotlight of our community partners, and links to many community resources that are available to our Burnet families. We hope you will once again find this opportunity to connect with local resources helpful! More information to come...

Please continue to help us in the following ways:

- Wear your mask every day!

- Bring your district-issued Chromebooks with you to school each day

- Parents, please take note of our dismissal procedures below-- we are working on making this process faster and we appreciate your continued cooperation!

Please stay tuned for important dates and information, as this newsletter will be updated throughout the month to help you stay informed.

Thank you!
