Her creative spirit will be such an asset in helping our students learn and grow!
What truly sets April apart is her heart for making a difference. She chose to become a paraprofessional because she wants to leave a lasting impact on future generations - and we know she absolutely will! April is especially excited about being part of the small-town community feel that makes Burkburnett ISD so special.

We are thrilled to introduce Heather Ray, our new counselor at Burkburnett Middle School!
Heather brings six years of classroom experience from McNiel Middle School, where she taught 6th grade Social Studies and 7th grade Texas History. She earned her Bachelor's in History with a minor in Secondary Education from Midwestern State University and will complete her Master's in School Counseling from West Texas A&M this December.
"I chose to become a school counselor because I've seen the difference it makes when students feel genuinely supported not just academically, but emotionally," Heather shares. "Mental health plays such a huge role in learning and growing, and I want to be someone students can turn to when they need support and encouragement."
Heather is excited to build strong relationships with students, families, and staff in BISD and create a safe space where students feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate their challenges and successes.
When she's not supporting students, you might find Heather traveling with her family, binge-watching true crime documentaries, or making those "quick" Target runs that somehow turn into hour-long shopping adventures! 😄
Please join us in giving Heather a warm Bulldog welcome! We know she's going to make an incredible impact on our students and school community. 🐾💜
Welcome to the BMS team, Heather! #BulldogPride #BISD #NewStaff
Hello BISD Families,
We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, built right into our Burkburnett ISD app and website, offers secure and safe two-way messaging. This addition allows Burkburnett ISD to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.
Why Rooms? One place for every message. No more juggling multiple communication apps, flipping between inboxes, or remembering different logins.
Text notifications. You’ll get notified automatically of new messages even if you haven’t downloaded our district app. Safe and secure. Built-in moderation and other safety tools allow us to ensure safety of all communications, at all times.
What to Expect: Rooms will eventually become our primary method for all communication between staff, coaches, families, and teachers. Since Rooms is new, we will still have Class DoJo running at our elementary levels and SportsU for our athletic groups. Rooms will be live and ready for messaging with educators now.
We’re excited to bring our communication into one clear, connected experience for you.
You can find the apps here:
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptegy.burkburnett&pcampaignid=web_share
Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/burkburnett-isd-tx/id6446094654
The app is not required to communicate, you will get messages via text that will take you to an online version of Rooms but downloading our app is very beneficial.
CTE Annal Notice of Nondiscrimination. You can find the PFD version on our website below.

We're excited to introduce Terri Fisher, who is joining our team at BISD!
Terri is a devoted grandmother who treasures spending time with her children and grandchildren – she was recently celebrating at her granddaughter's wedding! ♥️ When she's not with family, you'll find her enjoying her many hobbies: tending to her garden, baking delicious treats, and caring for her chickens.
What we love most about Terri is her enthusiasm for finding the perfect work-life balance. She's genuinely excited about the opportunity she's been given here at Burkburnett ISD and is looking forward to making a positive contribution to our school community.
We're thrilled to have Terri bring her warmth, dedication, and life experience to our BISD family. Please join us in welcoming her to the team!
Welcome to the team, Terri!
We're excited to introduce Brandie Church, who is joining our food service team at Tower Elementary!
Brandie is a wife and proud mom to four amazing children – three boys and one girl who definitely keep her on her toes! She recently moved to Texas from Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she spent most of her life. While starting fresh in a new place feels a little nerve-wracking, she's mostly just excited about all the new experiences ahead.
Brandie brings a genuine passion for food service and years of restaurant management experience to this role. But what really drives her is her love for kids and her belief that well-fed students are students who can truly thrive in their classrooms. There's nothing more important to her than making sure every single student gets the nourishment they need to succeed.
When she's not in the kitchen, you'll probably find her behind a camera – photography is one of her favorite hobbies! But honestly, anything that involves her kids or helps other children is where her heart is.
She can't wait to start building healthy, meaningful relationships with all our students in the lunchroom. Her goal is simple: to make a positive difference in each student's day, one meal at a time.
We're so grateful to have Brandie join our wonderful Burkburnett ISD community. Please join us in welcoming her to the team!
Welcome to the team, Brandie!

We are delighted to welcome Vicki Carpenter to Tower Elementary as our newest paraprofessional!
Vicki brings a deeply personal commitment to supporting students with disabilities, drawing from her experiences as the niece, sister, and mother of someone with disabilities. Her mission is clear: to provide love, compassion, and advocacy for those who need help to be seen and heard. This heartfelt dedication makes her an invaluable addition to our special education team.
When she's not supporting our students, Vicki enjoys singing, tending to her garden, and volunteering with the women's auxiliary at our local American Legion. Her spirit of service extends well beyond the classroom and into our community.
