Thank you for visiting the W. H. Burnett webpage. W. H. Burnett is a family of highly qualified professionals advocating for engaged, responsible learners in a safe, nurturing environment, collaborating to produce extraordinary outcomes with engagement of all stakeholders.  As a Title I school we provide the following services for our students:
                    Counseling
                    English as a Second Language (ESL)
                    Dual Language (One way in PK/HS and Two way in Kindergarten)
                    Gifted and Talented Education
                    Special Education Services
                    504 Services
                    Speech Therapy
                    Math and Reading Intervention for Kindergarten
                    Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Conscious Discipline

We are very proud that we are a PBIS campus (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). This means that we use positive strategies and Conscious Discipline techniques in order to have a positive learning experience, respectful students/staff, and a safe environment.  Our students and staff follow these guidelines daily:

Care for Everyone and Everything
Use Good Manners
Be Ready
Show Respect

As a Dual Language campus we work on building our students’ vocabulary in both English and Spanish on a daily basis.  Parents have the option to apply for the Dual Language program in Kindergarten.  Students who participate in the program will be able to speak, understand, read and write in English and Spanish by 6^th grade.  Research shows that students that are bilingual do better in school.  The students will also have a marketable skill.

Prekindergarten and Head Start students are not required to wear uniforms to school.  Kindergarten students must wear uniforms to school on Monday-Thursday.  They may wear jeans on Fridays as long as they wear a TISD school spirit shirt.  Jeans shorts, capris, etc. are not allowed on Fridays.  Our building is labeled in English (blue) and Spanish (red)  so that the children will be able to learn words in both languages. We encourage the kindergarten students to wear a RED uniform shirt on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays because Spanish is the language of the day and a BLUE uniform shirt on Tuesdays/Thursdays because English is the language of the day. 

We have a fabulous volunteer program in TISD and we would love for you to be a part of it.  You must attend a volunteer training one time and fill out a criminal background packet annually in order to become a volunteer for TISD.  Please look on this webpage for the upcoming dates for the volunteer training.

Thanks again for visiting our webpage. Burnett is always striving to improve our campus so if you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns, please let me know because I am here to help you and your child. Please do not hesitate to call if you would like to schedule a tour of our wonderful campus!

Sincerely,
