One tool that we use to monitor student progress in Reading and Math is iStation. This week teachers will send home instructions to access the Parent Portal. Below is a quick video to help parents with navigating the Parent Portal including accessing your child's reports and resources that can be used at home to support your child.

Please save the date for our annual Grandparents' celebration on April 1st , 2022. Details will be shared in the Spring semester.

At Bertram Elementary, we are supported by a full-time School Resource Officer through a partnership with BCISD and Bertram Police Department. In addition to safety and security, our School Resource Officer provides all Kindergarten through 5th Grade students with a 10-week course called Too Good for Drugs. Classes are held once a week during library rotations. The lessons taught are tailored to be developmentally appropriate. Lessons focus on making positive choices, refusing peer pressure, and gaining confidence.
