The teachers truly go the extra mile at Burk. From staying after school just to "chat" with students to coming in early for homework help. They communicate regularly with parents so we are always informed on what's going on in the classroom. They are highly knowledgeable and it is evident they show up each and every day ready to bring their best. We couldn't ask for better teachers and hope each and every one of them stay.
