A note about Afternoon Car Rider Pickup
We have had a couple of slower starts because cars are joining the line through the parking lot. If you enter the line this way, teachers will not know you are here and you will have to wait for us to find your student once you get to the line.
We have sent home all requested Car Rider tags so please check your child's backpack. If you need a tag, please email ber-transportation@burnetcisd.net.
Drive by the gym
Hang your tag
Your Child Will Be Ready

DIVA Dawgs start September 18th
Attached you will find our lesson topics and meeting dates for September through May of 2022.
This is a great opportunity for our 3rd -6th-grade girls to grow in Courage, Confidence, and Character as they give back to this community and the philanthropic cause that they vote on at the September meeting.
As we stress at our first meeting of the year, this program gives our young ladies a platform to perform community service projects and spread kindness in their families, our schools, community, and across the GREAT State of Texas.
Parents, be looking for a more detailed email pertaining to bus transportation next week.
