A Message from the Principal

One of the most important components of a great school is the partnership between the school, its parents, and the community who work together for the best interest of all children.  The close partnerships between home, school, and the community is one of the strengths we desire to enhance at Burton-Pack Elementary School.  Burton-Pack is a Title One School which is a federally funded program that provides instructional support to increase student achievement. A copy of our 2018-2019 Title One plan is available upon request.  Burton-Pack is an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) school where academic success and college readiness strategies permeate into everything that we do academically and socially.  Our AVID team in 3^rd, 4^th, & 5^th will provide intensive learning strategies by preparing our students for success in higher education.  The core components of the AVIDProgram challenges students to become critical thinkers and to engage in more rigorous learning.  In addition AVID supports students in other areas such as study skills, note taking, time management, writing and research skills while being immersed in a college-going culture.

Our goal is to challenge your child academically, grow them socially and emotionally, and guide them toward independent thinking, creativity, and problem solving. Students will be encouraged to display good character and to make good choices that will result in successful outcomes.  We are looking forward to a great school year filled with enriching activities and learning experiences that will help your child display “Bulldog Pride!”  

 We look forward to working with our parents and students throughout the school year to provide a productive and safe learning environment that supports students’ success.  

Go Bulldogs!!!
