We are proud of our Bulldogs for connecting with community members to spread a little Bulldog kindness. Thank you, STUCO, for making a difference beyond the classroom!
John G. Tower Elementary is celebrating outstanding results from their Bulldog Basics Kindness Challenge:
Our challenge focused on Bulldog Basics #1: Treat Others with Kindness. Throughout the nine weeks, the Specials Team looked for students demonstrating kindness through actions such as giving compliments, using kind words, holding doors open for others, and letting others go first. Each time we saw or heard a student demonstrating kindness, we awarded a point to their homeroom. At the end of the nine weeks, the homeroom with the most kindness points received a special award!
Our first nine weeks' overall winner was Mrs. Frawley’s first-grade class, earning an impressive 61 kindness points! Their rewards included a popsicle party, a kindness hat and bracelet, a kindness certificate, and the Kindness Trophy!
We are excited to continue this challenge throughout the school year to encourage positive behavior and help build a culture of kindness across our campus.
Their lesson combined learning, collaborating with peers and a lot of FUN!
Burkburnett High School students are gaining hands-on experience that helps prepare them for life after graduation.
To achieve recognition as Texas Elementary or Secondary Teacher of the Year, a teacher must first be chosen as a campus and district teacher of the year, then a regional honoree. From the group of 40 regional teachers of the year, six finalists are chosen and interviewed by an independent panel of judges composed of representatives of education associations, community and business leaders, a member of the State Board for Educator Certification, a member of the State Board of Education, and prior Texas Teachers of the Year.

Burkburnett ISD is excited to introduce our 2026 Adopt-A-Bulldog Holiday Assistance Program beginning November 9!
This new initiative will connect BISD students and families (Pre-K to 12th grade) who may need additional holiday support with caring community members, local businesses, churches, organizations, and BISD staff who want to help make the holiday season a little brighter.
Interested in helping sponsor a Bulldog this holiday season? We are currently gathering donor interest so we can begin preparing for our program launch on November 9th. Complete our Donor Interest Form: https://forms.gle/Hajs8hGPmuvXf9na6
Completing the form simply lets us know that you are interested in being a donor or adopting multiple bulldogs! Additional information regarding the adoption process, student wish lists, donation guidelines, and important deadlines will be provided as we get closer to the program launch.
How can my child qualify? Referrals are submitted internally by BISD staff and counselors only. Families do not need to complete a form or take action unless they are contacted by the District Social Worker and invited to participate. A referral does not guarantee participation or assistance. Parent/guardian consent is required, and eligibility is determined based on established program criteria and available resources. This program is not affiliated with Angel Tree. All student and family information will be kept confidential.

Pre-K is often a child’s first experience with school and an important opportunity to build confidence, independence, curiosity, and a love for learning.
BISD students develop skills in:
📚 Early Literacy & Language - vocabulary, communication, letters, sounds, stories, and sharing ideas
🔢 Early Math - counting, numbers, patterns, shapes, sorting, and measurement
🤝 Social-Emotional Skills - sharing, cooperation, managing emotions, problem-solving, and building friendships
✂️ Physical Development - fine- and gross-motor skills, coordination, and body awareness
💡 Thinking & Learning - curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, persistence, and confidence
Academic instruction is intentional, focused, and goal-oriented. Teachers use multiple data points to monitor student progress and determine when learning goals have been met. Students are celebrated by staff and peers as they master their goals and are encouraged to demonstrate persistence as they progress through each unit of study.
Consistent attendance is important at this stage as students progress throughout the school year. Every day is another opportunity to become the best students they can be!
At BISD, we meet students where they are and provide a welcoming environment where every child can learn, grow, and succeed. 🧡🐾

Ms. Graham’s Professional Communications students had the opportunity to put their interview skills into practice with employers and professionals from our community!
Students practiced answering common interview questions, communicating professionally, and showcasing the skills they would bring to a future workplace.
A huge thank you to all of our amazing community volunteers who took time out of their day to come speak with our students and provide valuable feedback. Your support helps our students build confidence and prepare for their futures!

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid, and even one pill can be deadly. This infographic highlights the growing impact of fentanyl-related deaths and the dangers.
Sharing this information can help parents and families recognize potential warning signs and have important conversations with their children.
