Bally Programs 101 for Parents: You are invited to an information session Monday night explaining how to use Canvas to keep track of your child's day-to-day assignments and assessments AND how to use BehaviorFlip to keep track of your child's day-to-day corrective and positive behavior. We'll be in the cafe at 6pm. Mrs. Kegley will discuss Canvas and Mr. Demetrakis will discuss Behavior Flip. Then we'll have time to play around in the apps and receive small group or 1:1 support. You can also find online tutorial info here and HERE.
Standards Based Learning 101 for Parents: Mrs. Kegley has arranged Mastery Learning/Standards Based Learning info sessions for parents. See the graphic below if you are interested in learning more about how we teach and learn at Ballyshannon and how our assessment of learning may look different to you.
Curriculum Night Change (yes...again--eye roll emoji): To allow more slots for parent teacher conferences AND to make sure every parent can experience curriculum night on their own time regardless of their family and work schedule, we're bringing Curriculum Night to you virtually. We will no longer have an in-person Curriculum Night on October 3rd. See info below. Teachers are working on their videos this week. We'll publish next weekend.

8th grade science is at the end of their genetics unit and will have their Summative this week. They will begin using the information from genetics unit to investigate why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. They will have to create a model to show their understanding of the effects on the organism of their choosing.
