We will be posting pictures of our Veterans on our school webpage over the next few weeks. If you have a Veteran's photo you would like to submit please email it to kobrien@burnetcisd.net.

Our Fall Book Fair will open Friday, November 10th following our Veterans Day program. Be on the lookout for information coming home with your student later this week.

Families are encouraged to trot with their student(s). Families will check in at the track with their event ticket. Multiple adults can check in with one ticket. Adults wishing to check in without an event ticket will need to present their ID at the front office.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for our family, health, friends, and all the blessings we have. We hope you will consider making a “Donation of Thanks”.

Bertram's ADA for this past week was 91.58%

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal! We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work toward 98%!
