Teacher Appreciation 2020: How to Say Thank You from a Distance

Teacher Appreciation Week

BISD Celebrates Teachers May 4–8

“Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care.”—Horace Mann

Birdville ISD is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week May 4–8. Though the school buildings are closed, teaching continues. In addition to reading, writing and arithmetic, we are teaching and learning about quarantines, social distancing, handwashing while singing the ABCs, masks, and so much more.

This week we want to say thank you, but because of COVID-19, we must do it from a distance this year.

BISD invites parents and students to share a message of appreciation for their child’s teacher(s) on social media using the hashtags #BISDteacherscan and #teacherscan.

With the District closed for the remainder of the school year, campuses are not able to accept and distribute gifts to teachers. However, if a family wishes to reach out to their child’s teacher(s) privately, they can email the teacher(s) directly.

Looking for a safe place to go outside?

Five BISD middle school* tracks and the old Birdville Stadium track in Haltom City are open and available for public use. We hope BISD families will get outdoors for their physical and mental health, while continuing to practice social distancing. Stay Safe!

(Note: The tracks at the three high schools will remain closed.)

* North Oaks, North Richland, North Ridge, Smithfield and Watauga middle schools’ tracks are open. Haltom and Richland middle schools’ tracks are closed because of construction.
