Burleson High

For your convenience, the district has launched a new, easy to use calendar that brings all of its campus/district calendars into one system.  Click here to view it now.  For your convenience, an Interactive Calendar link has been added under District Links located in the right sidebar.

Below are some tips for changing views and printing:

Changing Calendar Views - Once you are viewing a calendar you can change the viewing format.  By default it is set to a grid view.  The other views are category, date/time, summary, and location.  This option is called the "Display Format."  You will also have the option to swithch between day, week, month, and year views.

Printing Calendars - Every calendar can be switched to a printer-friendly view by clicking the print button towards the top right corner.  The print option will take the current calendar view and make it printer-friendly.  Choose the desired calendar view and timeframe to get the expected printing results.

The district value's the community's input and wants to make its new calendars your one source for school/district sponsored events.  Please email your feedback to Phil Beckman pbeckman@burlesonisd.net.

The Elks are in the playoffs!  Congratulations to Mel Maxfield, staff, and players! 

They will play the Arlington Colts on Friday, November 13th, at 9:00 p.m. in the new Cowboys Stadium.

Tickets will go on sale on Thursday morning from 6:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Burleson Stadium ticket office.  Student sales will still take place on Friday at all four lunches.  Tickets are $6 for students, $8 for adults, or $10 for all at the game.  Parking will cost $10 per car.

Due to several circumstances, subtle changes will be made to the BHS Tardy Policy.  Beginning Monday, November 9th, when students reach the ninth cumulative tardy in a six weeks, they will be assigned to a D-Hall after school.  For every 2nd tardy after the ninth in a six weeks, students will be assigned an additional after school detention.  Tardies will reset at zero at the beginning of each six weeks period.  Failure to attend an assigned D-Hall may result in truancy charges being filed.

Attention students:

Drivers exiting the Fine Arts exit and the main exit must turn right onto Elk Drive.  Drivers exiting the student lot must turn left onto Elk Drive.  No vehicles other than school busses will be allowed in the drive between the student lot and the building.

The primary responsibility of any school is the safety and security of the students and staff.  In keeping with this philosophy, BHS has made some subtle changes to our parking lot in the front of the school.  You will notice that there are now 10 spaces directly in front of the main entrance to the school marked "Visitors".  The addition of these spaces should make it more convenient for those visiting the school for various reasons to find a place to park close to the entrance.  It should also help to reduce the traffic backup in the afternoons due to cars parked along the curb.  We are also in the process of placing "No Unattended Vehicles" signs along the curb to help with this issue. 

We welcome you to BHS at any time.  We just ask that you stop at the Guard Shack on your way in so that they can give you a visitors parking pass for your car dash.  This will help our parking monitors maintain accurate records of who is on campus at any time.  Please return the pass to the Guard Shack upon your departure.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation with the parking procedures.  We realize that the traffic flow is not optimum, but we are constantly searching for ways to improve.
