Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year!
Happy summer, SGE Families!
At SGE, our hallways and classrooms are empty, but we're still preparing for the 2024-2025 school year! A vital piece in preparing is hiring. We hire based on confirmed enrollment numbers. Please, PLEASE help us staff Shady Grove appropriately for the upcoming year by completing your 2024-2025 registration NOW! Early registrations will help us determine when additional teachers need to be hired and since we're in a national teacher shortage, SGE wants as much time to hire quality candidates as possible. Registration information can be found here!
If your student is not planning to return to SGE for the 2024-2025 school year, please contact the registrar, Skeeter DeLeon, at sdeleon@burnetcisd.net.
As a reminder, the SGE office is closed from June 12-July 12th. All email and phone call responses will begin on Monday, July 15th.
Thank you for your help!

Are you Enrolling from Homeschool or Private School?
Welcome to Burnet CISD! We are thrilled you have decided to join our Bulldog family!

Coursework from non-TEA-accredited private schools, homeschools, or foreign schools are not automatically recognized without additional evaluation. For more information which can be found on the district's website, click here.
Summer Hair, Don't Care!
Summertime is a great time for fun hair! Please keep in mind, however, the expectations regarding hairstyles and colors for school which are communicated in the BCISD Student Handbook:
-"Hair color must be of a naturally occurring color in the human genome. Other hair colors such as purple, green, pink, etc. are a violation of the dress code."
-Mohawks are unapproved.
To view the complete Student Handbook, click here. Information on Dress and Grooming begins on page 51.

Viewing Report Cards and Progress Reports
An important piece in the family-school partnership is staying aware of student performance. It is requested that parents view and electronically sign progress reports and report cards. See the directions below, and be sure to get those signatures in! In addition, parents are encouraged to regularly view grades in Skyward.
Notification of Student Absence
A parent must provide an explanation for any absence within 5 days of the student’s arrival or return to school. The student must submit a note signed by the parent. The campus may accept an email from the parent sent to the school’s attendance clerk, but reserves the right to require a written note. The form below will send an email to SGE's Attendance Clerk and then the campus will determine whether to classify the absence as excused or unexcused.
This information may also be found on the BCISD website:
How do I request a change in transportation?
Submit an email on the same day as the transportation change request by 1:30 p.m. to sge-transportation@burnetcisd.net
Include the following details in the email:
- Student’s full name
- Student’s grade level
- Student’s homeroom teacher
- 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.
