Important Updates
Although we are away from the school building, we are already thinking about and starting our planning processes for next year. We would like for parents to share their input about how your child learns best in the All About My Child for 2020-2021 form below. Your input will be read and taken into consideration as we form classes for next year.
The work collection drop box located at Bertram Elementary is set up and ready to accept completed student work. It is located at the front doors labeled Administration. Please be sure each page that is turned in is labeled with your child's name, teacher's name, and campus. This will ensure that it gets back to the correct person. Additional return stations are located at the Grab & Go Lunch Locations around BCISD

Free Wifi Locations
The District has compiled the attached map to provide information about WiFi hotspots available for use by students in and around the District during the COVID-19 school closure. The hotspots listed are provided by a mix of BCISD, local businesses, a partnership between Marble Falls ISD and Llano ISD, and other local organizations.
Each number on the map represents a hotspot location and the matching entry in the legend includes the address and connection information if it is needed to connect.
We appreciate the businesses and organizations allowing our students to connect in a location closer to their home than our campuses. This service will allow students with limited or no internet connection to park in the mapped location and connect without leaving their vehicle, allowing them to maintain proper social distancing while taking advantage of the connection to complete their schoolwork.
- Student’s Report Card
- Attendance Record (physical or electronic)
- Birth Certificate (can be used for any child under 18 yrs. old)
- Student ID (Any District-provided ID card, including Athletic Passes, etc.)
- Car Rider Pro Tag
