Our RJR Student of the month is a student that goes above and beyond exemplifying Spirit, Pride, and Honor, and represents our campus/community positively.

Students will be nominated by teachers each month and a Top Dawg Recognition will be celebrated monthly.

*You'll find the nomination form here to see the ways that students model Spirit, Pride, & Honor to be selected as an RJR Top Dawg!

Our RJR Top Dawg Students of the Month can look forward to not only receiving an award and being placed in our Top Dawg Wall of Fame at the campus, but they will also receive a Mr. Gatti's Pizza Loaded Arcade GameCard and Free Pizza & Mojo's Kids Cup Coupon!

September is National Attendance Awareness Month, a time to celebrate and emphasize the important role school attendance plays in ensuring our students receive quality education.

Consistent attendance:

1. Boosts academic performance and grade-level proficiency.

2. Fosters social connections and peer relationships.

3. Encourages responsibility and a sense of routine.

4. Reduces the risk of falling behind and feeling overwhelmed.

Remember: attendance matters and absences add up!

Unfortunately, toys from home can get in the way of the learning to do!

Our teachers and campus have many incentives and behavior & character rewards for students, so helping to keep toys and Pokemon cards at home, it helps us keep our focus on learning and growing and celebrating the growth together.

Submit an email on the same day as the transportation change request by 1:30 p.m. to rjr-transportation@burnetcisd.net.

Include the following details in the email:

• Student’s full name

• The transportation change you want made for today (bus rider to car rider or car rider to bus rider)

Requests made after 1:30pm will not be processed. Notes, phone calls, text messages and emails sent to any other email will not be processed.
