Spring is always busy, so here are some dates to add to your calendar moving forward.
We are in need of some new artwork in the building, specifically in the office area so we are going to try something new: a photo contest! We want students to find the beauty in their community and take a picture. It can be your favorite place, a beautiful sunset, or just somewhere special in our wonderful town. Winners will have their art displayed on the walls of Overton Ray.
Attached, you will find a graphic with all the rules and deadline for entry.

A Public Hearing of the Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC) of Burkburnett Independent School District will be held May 14th, beginning at 3:45 pm at the Overton Ray Elementary library.

Dr. Owen will be live on our Burkburnett ISD Facebook page on Monday, May 5th at 6 PM. If you have any questions for Dr. Owen, please ask them here 👇 in the comment section below in advance, and he will address them live.
Please keep all questions focused on policies, processes, or facilities at the district or campus level. Dr. Owen will not be answering any questions about specific personnel or student situations. Dr. Owen will give a district update and then answer your submitted questions. Dr. Owen will end the town hall with a live Q & A that will allow you to ask questions in real-time.
We hope you will take the time to join in on these town halls and we hope you find the information and format beneficial.

BISD was proud to host resiliency influencer Brooks Gibbs. On Monday night, he delivered an inspirational message empowering BISD parents. The Boomtown Babes and BMS Choir performed, too! Thanks to The River Assembly of God for providing hot dogs, BMS StuCo for providing water, and BMS S2S for serving free popcorn! It was a stellar night, complete with tons of raffle prizes! Dr. Gibbs also presented to BMS 6th and 7th graders, sharing about emotional resiliency.
We would like to thank all the sponsors who contributed to our raffle give away at the Brooks Gibbs Parent Seminar! Thank you for supporting Burkburnett ISD. We appreciate you!
Last week we surveyed our elementary staff and elementary parents to see if they would be willing to add 10 minutes (5 min in the a.m. and 5 min in the p.m.) to the elementary bell schedule for the rest of the year beginning next Monday so that all students could get Good Friday (April 18th) off. The surveys had overwhelming support for this. This does not effect the secondary bell schedules as they are already longer.
So, we will have April 18th off. See Calendar attached.
Elementary parents: This does not alter any other part of the school day. The drop off times for parents in the morning will not be changed to an earlier time, but kids need to be at school no later than 7:40.
Attention Parents!! Today is the day! Join us at 5 PM tonight for our parent seminar at the BMS. Raffle Prizes up for grabs! Win some great prizes from some amazing local sponsors!
FREE parent seminar with Brooks Gibbs! Monday, March 24 at 6:00 PM, BMS Auditorium. Open to all BISD parents.
It's time to Spring Forward and enjoy your Spring Break with longer days in the sun!
