Capturing Kids Hearts Parent Survey Capturing Kids Hearts Parent Survey

At Burlington Elementary, we believe strong relationships are at the center of student success. Through our Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) work, we focus on creating classrooms and school experiences where students feel safe, connected, valued, and supported every day. From greetings at the door and social contracts to affirmations and meaningful conversations, these routines help shape the positive culture our students experience at BES.


This year, Burlington Elementary was once again recognized as a Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School, an honor earned by only a small percentage of CKH schools nationwide. This recognition reflects the daily commitment of our staff, students, and families to building a caring and connected school community.


As we continue working to grow and improve, your feedback is incredibly important to us. Please take a few minutes to complete our end-of-year CKH Family Survey. Your input helps us celebrate strengths, identify next steps, and continue building the best possible experience for students and families at BES.


Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

Science Fair Tuesday: Volunteers Needed

Burlington Elementary School’s Science Fair is coming up Tuesday morning, May 12! We are still looking for a few adult volunteers from the community to help judge student projects beginning at 8:30 a.m. Judging typically lasts a couple of hours.


We’d love to have community members join us to support students as they practice their speaking skills and present their experiments and learning. No science background or special expertise is required, just a willingness to encourage students and engage with their projects!

4th Grade Promotion Parade

The last day of school is coming fast! Just a reminder for 4th grade parents that we will celebrate our 4th graders as they prepare to head to middle school! The rest of the school will cheer them on as they walk through the hallways one last time as elementary students.

Parents are invited to join this celebration. Following the parade, families are welcome to stay and enjoy lunch!
