Each Spring UT hosts an event to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics to girls. Traditionally women have been underrepresented in these professions.

This year the event will be held on Saturday, February 19th at the University of Texas at Austin. The event is FREE and open to both girls and boys. If you are interested in your child attending, the registration information is provided below.

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

Our school is growing and it is important that everyone know and follow the transportation change process.

• If your child has a change in transportation, please email ber-transportation@burnetcisd.net by 1:30 pm. This includes daily changes and permanent changes. Please indicate in your email if the change is just for today or if it is for every day.
• At 1:30 pm, this email box is checked for a final time and all changes will be made.
• After 1:30 pm, we print the transportation lists for teachers and dismissal staff.
• No changes will be accepted after this time.
• If you have an emergency, you may call and speak to Mrs. Harris about the situation and we will work together to support your student.
• Voicemails, notes, text messages, phone calls, and emails to any other email address are not acceptable changes of transportation and will not be processed.
• We do not accept transportation changes from students. Parents and guardians must communicate any changes by using the ber-transportation@burnetcisd.net email address.
