Notice the red paint job on the curb in front of the school and across the street?
To insure the safety of our children and increase visibility during drop off and pick up times the city is implementing a NO PARKING ZONE and a 15 mile an hour speed limit in front of the Elementary School.
Please Do Not Park, even for a moment, at any time in the red zone.
It is the mission of Burwell Public Schools to educate students, with parent and community involvement, so that challenges presented by an ever-changing society can be addressed with confidence and success.
