Update: If you have Valentines' cards or treats at home that you would like your child to bring to school, please send them on Monday. We know that the weather this week has been a real challenge for families, if your child does not have Valentines' and/or treats, please do not worry! Teachers will help them create cards at school to share with friends.

Please be sure to send any items with your child. We will not accept deliveries or drop-offs in the office. Due to COVID, parents and volunteers are not able to attend Valentine's Day parties.

Please remind your child to look in the Lost & Found for missing items! We have many jackets, sweaters, hats, and masks that have been left behind. We will be donating unclaimed items at the end of each grading period.

All items that were found with a name on them were returned to students. Please help us send your child's items back home by putting your child's name on them.

If your family is interested in changing your student from in-person learning to remote learning, please call the office. We are glad to help. Students engaging in remote learning are expected to maintain attendance standards and passing grades.

If you are learning remotely and would like your child to move back to in-person learning, please call the office one week before you would like your child to return to school. This allows teachers time to adjust furniture and set up dividers if needed.

1. Complete AT HOME self screening before getting on the bus or coming to school.
2. Face coverings for all bus riders, and students in grades 1st-5th. Face coverings are strongly encouraged for PreK and Kinder. Remember wearing a face mask reduces your child's chance of having to quarantine for close contact.
3. Bring your backpack including water bottle, snack, and lunchbox (if bringing lunch).

1. Visits to the school are by appointment. We will attempt to address situations by phone or Google Meet. In-person appointments can be scheduled if the situation requires. When visiting campus, please be prepared to show a valid photo ID.

2. If you do visit the school, face coverings are required for all adults at all times. This includes the office foyer area.

3. Due to COVID-19, we will not have any on campus volunteers at this time.

4. We are not accepting deliveries including forgotten lunches (hot meal will be provided by the cafeteria), birthday treats, and food orders.

5. If you need to make an occasional change to your child's transportation home, please use the Bertram Transportation Change email: ber-transportation@burnetcisd.net . Transportation changes must be emailed in no later than 1:30pm. Teachers will not be able to accept transportation changes.
