A brief reminder about our Transportation Waiting Area (TWA) that has been a trusted expectation for eight years. This is even more important during cold weather:
The Transportation Waiting Area (TWA) is a safe place for all students who are waiting for a ride after 3:05 p.m. and students released from activities prior to 5 p.m. Students will treat TWA as a study hall. Students should report directly to TWA.

Just a reminder at 3:05 you are to leave the building. There is no reentry into the building. Once you leave you leave. If you need to wait for a ride, go to TWA and wait. If you are going to TWA, you must go there immediately. There are NO exceptions.
Every student is to attend their scheduled classes and be in their assigned rooms. Any student who is not in a classroom must always have a pass.

TWA-North Cafeteria
A brief reminder about our Transportation Waiting Area (TWA) that has been a trusted expectation for seven years. This is even more important during cold weather:
The Transportation Waiting Area (TWA) is a safe place for all students who are waiting for a ride after 3:05 p.m. and students released from activities prior to 5 p.m. Students will treat TWA as a study hall. Students should report directly to TWA to wait for a ride. Students will wait in TWA until their ride is here and exit the building using the east circle drive doors. Students who choose to leave the building, instead of checking in to TWA, will not be readmitted to the building. All students remaining at Burke High School after 3:05pm should be supervised by a coach, sponsor, teacher, or report to TWA.
