Welcome to the Burton Elementary School District web site.  I hope that the information we are providing is beneficial and that your interest in getting to know us better will result in further contacts.

Our history is one of commitment and tireless support for our community's children.  For over 120 years our community has entrusted their children to a dedicated faculty who have clearly attempted to prepare children for leadership, citizenship, and the world of work in one of the most bountiful agricultural valleys in the world.

Every generation has recommitted themselves to these purposeful goals.  Today, we continue to provide our children with the foundations that will secure a successful transition to our community's secondary schools.  Many of our graduates have distinguished themselves, and in large numbers, many continue their education at both community and state universities.  We are pleased to have had the opportunity to assist our students and we look forward to growing in our capacity to meet the challenges that are sure to present themselves.  Most importantly, this is a district that is self-renewing and resilient.  Our instructional staff is highly skilled, dedicated, and highly focused on meeting both district and state curriculum standards.  We are a district that believes " no child should ever be left behind".  I encourage those who have an interest in our school district and of our community to make further contact with this office or directly to our respective school site administrators.   We would welcome your inquiry.
