BES Parent Update

Mr. Kastner recently shared that his family will be leaving Burlington at the end of this summer to pursue an opportunity teaching overseas. This decision has been in thoughtful discussion for some time and reflects a long-term family goal and a new chapter ahead.

Mr. Kastner expressed deep gratitude for the Burlington community and for the trust, support, and partnerships built with students, staff, and families over the years. He shared how proud he is of the growth, culture, and collective work at Burlington Elementary and the strong foundation in place for continued success.

Mr. Kastner remains fully committed to Burlington Elementary through the end of the school year and will continue supporting students, staff, and families while working closely with district and school leadership to ensure a smooth transition.

School Board Appreciation Breakfast

On School Board Appreciation Day, Burlington Elementary School celebrated our school board members with a morning filled with greetings, classroom visits, and breakfast conversations. Board members were welcomed by students at the front entrance, toured kindergarten and second grade classrooms, and joined first, third, and fourth grade students for breakfast.
