Meet Mr. B!
My name is Donald Burton, and I will be your child’s Fourth Grade teacher this year! I received my undergraduate degree from Bridgewater College and my Master’s degree from Mary Baldwin College. I am married with two children: my daughter will be starting Radiology Tech school this fall, and my son will be in 11th grade. This will be my 22nd year teaching in Augusta County! I spent my first 14 years at Verona Elementary School where I taught Kindergarten, First, Second, and Fourth grades. This will be my 8th year at WES!! I spent the first six years in First grade, and am looking forward to my second year in Fourth grade!
In order for you to get to know me a little better, I have listed some of my favorite things. I can't wait to learn about some of your favorite things as we start a new year together!
Please feel free to contact me through email dburton@augusta.k12.va.us, or by calling the school (245-5040) whenever you have questions. We have a fun, unique, and exciting year ahead of us! I know together we can make it a successful one for your child!
