December Parent Connection Newsletter

We are grateful for our Burton families, students and staff

We hope that all of our Burton community had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones. We asked our students and staff what they are grateful for. You can check out what they had to say here:

No School during Thanksgiving Break

There will be no school from November 20th-24th for Thanksgiving break. District offices will be closed Thursday, November 23rd and Friday November 24th.

Summit High School Showcase!

Not sure what high school to send your 8th grader to next year? Come check out the exciting academies, work-experience and life skills opportunities we offer at Summit. New this year is an AA from Porterville College in Elementary Teaching! This is a FREE event!

Food Distribution

Every 2nd Thursday of the month at 2pm we will be distributing boxes of food at our Burkey Center located at 2440 W Henderson Ave. Just a reminder that due to the amount of food given out at our distribution and weight of the items we ask that if possible families bring a cart or wagon to carry their boxes back to their vehicles. We have limited amount of wagons to assist families which can at times hold up the wait time in the line.  Please be prepared to carry those items to your vehicle. Thank you!

VAPA opportunity for 1st-5th grade

If you have a student who enjoys the art of performing this is an amazing opportunity! TCOE will be providing a 3 week acting course. Keep an eye on your ParentSquare for more information.

Burton Institute 

Our Burton Institute provides support to our teachers who are looking to clear their credential through successful completion of required coursework, fieldwork, and performance demonstration of their knowledge, skills and abilities. Burton is proud to have its own Credentialed program to provide teachers with the support they need through their journey to become a teacher.
