The highest priority of Birdville ISD is the safety of our students and staff. In order to maintain a safe environment at all schools, we are asking parents, staff members and students to complete a safety survey.
Students (grades 3–12) and staff, will take a safety survey at school during a time designated by the campus principal. In addition to students and staff, BISD is asking parents to complete the survey using the link below. Parents with children at multiple schools will be able to complete a survey for each campus.
Additional safety measures identified through the completed surveys may become part of either a Campus Improvement Plan or, if the issue is districtwide, the District Improvement Plan.
The online survey is accessible Tuesday, March 28 – Wednesday, April 12.
Thank you for helping BISD keep our students and staff safe.
Fourth graders from Birdville ISD’s Green Valley Elementary traveled to Georgetown and Austin on an Education in Action Discover Texas Field Trip,
March 3, 2023, to experience what they are learning in social studies and science. Students visited the Texas State Capitol in Austin and Inner Space Cavern in Georgetown.
During the charter bus ride to Austin, students discussed why Texans are so proud of their unique heritage and participated in activities and games in preparation for their day. In Austin the students visited the Texas State Capitol where their legislators, The Honorable Kelly Hancock, State Senator, District 9 and The Honorable Stephanie Klick, State Representative, District 91, office. The students learned about the legislative process and saw first-hand where Texas laws are made as they toured the Texas State Capitol including the Senate and House of Representatives chambers.
The students then traveled to Inner Space Cavern in Georgetown where they panned for, and identified, minerals found in the cavern. Through participation in hands-on demonstrations, they learned about the water cycle and the environmental benefits of the world’s wetlands and watersheds. The student scientists discussed the rock cycle and worked in groups to classify rock, mineral, and fossil samples. They concluded their day by watching the Earth’s processes at work as they toured the highly decorated Inner Space Cavern.
”Education in Action’s Discover Texas Field Trips are based on the understanding that the most effective way for students to learn is through experience,” stated Jennifer Pasteur, Education in Action’s Executive Director. ”Student activities during Discover Texas Field Trips reinforce and supplement Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) learning objectives in fun and hands-on ways at significant Texas sites that bring the content to life.”
Education in Action’s Discover Texas Field Trips make it easy for teachers to take their 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade classrooms on organized, fun, and educational site-based learning experiences. Education in Action handles all details, including round-trip charter bus transportation, meals, and reservations, and provides the TEKS-based program curriculum so participating teachers can focus on their students and making connections between the experience and what students are learning in the classroom.
Discover Texas Field Trips are presented by Education in Action, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering educated and involved young people. In addition to one-day Discover Texas Field Trips to Austin, San Antonio, Waco/Georgetown, Dallas, and Fort Worth, Education in Action also offers summer Lone Star Leadership Academy camps for outstanding 4th-8th graders. During the weeklong, overnight camps, participants experience significant Texas sites in Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin/San Antonio, or Houston/Galveston with Texas educators and a focus on leadership.
