2nd Grade Swim Lessons
Burnet CISD, in conjunction with the YMCA, is pleased to offer all 2nd grade students a Safety Around Water and Fundamentals of Swimming program. The lessons teach students about safe behavior around the water and will orient students to the aquatic environment to create a sound foundation for water safety skills.
April 9, 10, 11 (Barstow, Malina)
April 16, 17, 18 (Fucik, Havrda, Malina, Fitz)
April 23, 24, 25 (Barstow, Fucik, Havrda, Fitz)
We are asking each student to bring the following items on the
days they are scheduled to attend:
● Swimming Suit (it would be helpful if they wore them under their clothes that morning)
● Towel (please label with students name)
● Bag to carry towel and swimming suit
● Undergarments to put on after swimming
● Large Zip-loc bag to put wet swimsuit in to carry home
● Swimsuit cover / shirt (optional)

Pre-K and Kindergarten Round-up
Spring Safety Drills
Your child's safety is always our first priority at Bertram Elementary. Each year we practice our response to a variety of emergency situations including fire, inclement weather, and lockdown. We will be conducting our Spring bad weather and lockdown drills as well as our month fire drill next week.
Each of these drills serves a crucial purpose in our emergency preparedness plan. It is important to emphasize that these drills are conducted purely for practice purposes, and there is no immediate danger to anyone on campus during these exercises. However, they provide valuable opportunities for everyone to familiarize themselves with the procedures to follow in case of an actual emergency.
Parents Help with Math
Check out the article from the Project Appleseed website for some great ideas for ways you can help your child with math at home!
Attendance Matters
Bertram's ADA for this past week was 92.5%.
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%!
