Greetings Burnside Family

We are excited about this upcoming school year. Our team worked this summer to develop a few new initiatives and to update previous ones. We welcomed back ALL of our students on Monday, August 22, 2022. Students will received a YOGURT AND TOPPING on their first school day. Our goal is 100% attendance.

Unfortunately, the construction that started this summer is not complete. The following work was scheduled to be complete by August 16, 2022.

Boys and Girls Restroom on 1st Floor
Gender Neutral Restroom on the 1st Floor
New Ramp at Door 2 (Inside and Outside)

Completing this is out of our control; therefore, we will work around it. Burnside will be fine, we have other options for restrooms and entry for our scholars. We are thankful for the work to be done at Burnside and look forward to its completion.

We are off to a "Great Start".

Sincerely,

Principal Thigpen Assistant Principal Anderson
