Instructional Plan During Closure

Parents & Students:

While Burkburnett ISD campuses are closed via Governor Abbott’s directives for Covid-19, the district has a distance learning plan in place. Each student is important to us and will be contacted by one of their teachers in order to provide information on accessing virtual school through Google Classroom. Teachers are working diligently to provide quality lessons and activities during the closure.

All instruction will be delivered via the Apex Learning platform. For more information, please email your child’s teacher or contact the district office at 940-569-3326.
