Student IDs
If a student misplaces or forgets their ID, there will be a $5 replacement fee charged to their skyward account.
Attention 8th Grade Parent/Guardian:
Your student will soon be registering for 9th grade classes soon, and learning more about the many opportunities at Burleson High School. All 8th Grade students are required to declare an Endorsement for high school in Skyward. Students have been working on declaring Endorsements and 4 year Plans for High School through their College and Career Readiness class either last semester or presently, during this semester. A Parent/Guardian’s Signature is also required for each student. Please follow the directions below to sign for your student’s endorsement.
For more information about Endorsement Pathways, Academic Planning Guides, High School course guides and other valuable information regarding academic planning and registration, please click on the link below that will take you to BISD’s Career and Technical Education Department.

Parents,
We are approaching week 22 of the school year! YAY! As learning continues in the second semester, the option of getting schedule changes this late in the year will be only for extenuating circumstances. If there are questions regarding grades or issues, please schedule a parent teacher conference to iron out concerns.
