Good Evening Burlington Primary School Families, This is s friendly reminder that the Scholastic Book Fair begins on Monday, March 17 and ends on Friday, March 21. Throughout the week, students will have an opportunity to shop and purchase items during their school day.

Due to the numerous weather-related closures we have had this winter, the board of education has approved March 17th , which was listed on the school calendar as an OS day to become a regular instructional day. Students and staff will follow the normal school schedule on that day. School will be in session on March 17.
