About Us:

Mound Elementary was built in 1962 and is the oldest continuing elementary school in the Burleson Independent School District . Mound has a principal, an assistant principal, and 54 full-time faculty and staff members.

Our school has an enrollment of approximately 440 students ranging in grade from Pre-Kindergarten to Fifth Grade.

Our focus is on student learning and meeting the needs of all students. We are striving to become an effective professional learning community where learning is the central focus and collaboration is a consistent means by which we monitor student progress and achievement and plan for continuous improvement.

Parents are strongly encouraged to maintain contact with his/her child's teacher. Teacher contact can be made by calling the Mound Office at 817-245-3100 to set up a teacher conference, through email, or by sending a note in the Daily Student Planner.
