The City of Burleson's emergency management division, the Burleson Independent School District and Tarrant County Public Health will team up to provide free H1N1 vaccinations to the public on Tuesday, February 23, 4-7 p.m., at Hughes Middle School.

The vaccinations will be administered on a first-come, first serve basis.  The shots are available to everyone, including the elderly, who did not have access to the vaccine when it was first released.  Children must be accompanied by a parent and must be at least 6 months old to receive the vaccine.  TCPH officials will have both nasal vaccines and vaccine injections.  You are not required to bring any medical records to the vaccination clinic, but will be asked to fill out forms supplied TCPH.

You do not have to be a Burleson resident to take part in the vaccination clinic.  TCPH will  supply the free vaccines, BISD will provide the location and the City will provide police officers for crowd control and fire fighters to help watch and assess patients after the vaccinations are administered.

The Burleson Independent School District has invited Smile Texas to bring its preventive dental care program to BISD schools in February because the district knows how important good oral health is to children's overall good health.

The Smile Texas team will set up a mini-dental office in your school and can provide dental examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments and sealants (if appropriate) for all children who return the completed forms.

The following is when the mobile dentists will be at your campus:

• February 8, Brock Elementary
• February 9, Bransom Elementary
• February 10, Burleson High School
• February 12, Frazier Elementary
• February 16-18, Norwood Elementary

At tonight's School Board meeting, Centennial High School Principal Lance Campbell made it official.  Future Centennial High School Students have chosen the Spartans as their mascot and colors to be royal blue, silver and black.

In order for Centennial High School to have traditions that uniquely identifies it, students and staff must begin to develop an atmosphere that represents their values and beliefs.  The name, brand and every decision made should communicate and embody all the virtues and traditions students and staff feel are important.  It begins with its mascot and colors.

The Texas Education Agency's Gold Performance Acknowledgment (GPA) system acknowledges districts and campuses for high performance on indicators other than those used to determine accountability ratings.  Charter operators and alternative education campuses (AECs) evaluated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are also eligible to earn GPAs.

Burleson High School received the 2009 College Readiness Award for having a significant increase in its ACT Composite score over the past five years while maintaining or increasing the number of students taking the ACT Assessment from the Texas ACT Council.

Less than 5% of high schools in Texas were able to accomplish what BHS has done.

As BISD transitions itself to having two high schools next year, it is important to keep our students, parents and community members informed of the process.  Click here to review the Transition to Two High Schools Plan and Recommendations.

On time and under budget is the great news!

Those words best define BISD efforts to give voters what they promised. From the original approved bond package of $259 million, BISD officials have sold bonds totaling $169 million in order to successfully complete a number of projects promised to our citizens during the November, 2006 election.
