Dear Families,
I am a BOI and a product of Galveston Schools. I graduated from Ball High and I attended the University of Houston Main Campus. Upon graduation, I was fortunate to return to Galveston and become a part of GISD’s extraordinary teaching team. In the fall of 1997, I received my 1st Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a Specialization in Bilingual and ESL from U of H Main Campus. In 2001, I completed my second Master’s Degree in School Administration and began to work as an Assistant Principal for GISD. I was named Principal of Early Childhood University and Weis Middle School in the spring of 2010. In the fall of 2014, Burnet Elementary was reopened and Early Childhood University was moved from the Weis building to Burnet Elementary where I continue to serve as Principal. I am currently serving my 12th year of being a Principal with GISD.
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at Burnet Elementary STREAM Magnet! I am extremely honored to be serving as the principal of this wonderful school! It is my hope that as the year progresses you will get to know the staff and the programs we offer here at Burnet. It is the goal of the staff to work with you to create a rich learning environment for all students. Student success is a shared responsibility between the school staff, students and parents. We believe that all children are unique and they all are capable of learning. I encourage you to play an active role in your child’s education by being present at school events, checking homework, communicating with his/her teacher and discussing the importance of having good work habits in school. We have found that students perform better when there is a positive home and school relationship. There will be opportunities throughout the year for you to volunteer on our campus and to attend campus events!
Please check the website for important dates and events that may take place. We are lucky that you chose Burnet to be your child’s school and we will not disappoint you and your family. “We are Stronger Together” and we are honored to serve your family this school year!
Burnet Elementary is a Pre-K through fourth grade elementary school located at 5501 Avenue S in Galveston.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns at 409 741-6470 or at beatrizrodriguez@gisd.org. I look forward to working with you and assisting each student to meet his or her personal goals.
Pirates let's continue to make it an awesome year!
Sincerely,
Beatriz Rodriguez
Principal of Burnet Elementary School
Estimadas Familias,
Soy de Galveston y un producto de las escuelas de Galveston ISD. Me gradué de Ball High y asistí a la Universidad de Houston. Al graduarme, tuve la suerte de regresar a Galveston y formar parte del extraordinario equipo docente de GISD. En el otoño de 1997, recibí mi 1er Máster en Currículo e Instrucción con especialización en Bilingüe y ESL de la Universidad de Houston. En 2001, completé mi segunda Maestría en Administración Escolar y comencé a trabajar como Subdirector de GISD. Fui nombrada Directora en Galveston en el 2010. En el otoño de 2014, Burnet Elementary fue reabierto y Early Childhood University se trasladó del edificio Weis a Burnet Elementary, donde continúo sirviendo como director. Actualmente estoy cumpliendo mi 12º año de ser director de GISD.
¡Bienvenido al año escolar 2022-2023 en Burnet Elementary STREAM Magnet! ¡Me siento extremadamente honrada de servir como directora de esta maravillosa escuela! Espero que a medida que avance el año conozcas al personal y los programas que ofrecemos aquí en Burnet.

Mrs. Mary Ann Badalamenti, Assistant Principal
After graduating from high school in a small Tennessee town, I went to Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in Elementary Education as well as English literature. I did my student teaching as well as my first year teaching at Carol Morgan School in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I returned to the states and taught elementary school in New Jersey and Boston, MA. After living in Boston for three years, we moved to Galveston. While living in Galveston I taught elementary school at Rosenberg Elementary for three years then I taught at Oppe for sixth years. We moved to Colorado where I taught middle school and went to school for my Master degree at Adam State University. After receiving my degree in administration, I worked as an Assistant Principal. After ten years in Colorado, my family and I returned to Galveston eight years ago. I have worked as an Assistant Principal as well as a Campus Facilitator at Scott/Collegiate. This is my first year at Burnet as an Assistant Principal.
I am very excited to be at Burnet and feel a real connection to the school and to the community. Burnet is a very strong school and I am very proud to call myself a Burnet Pirate!
