Ballman is Finishing the COVID Year Strong!!!
It has been a tougher year socially and emotionally, and our staff has been there to help each other to ensure our learning community continues to grow. We also know that our learners are more than a test score and believe that each and every one has his/her own personal strengths and talents. We work to support the whole child. Thank you, Ballman Parents, for trusting us with your precious children as we navigated through this year of unknowns. It has been a HUGE success!!

We Thank the FSPS Community for our New Office with Secured Vestibule!!
We thank the FSPS School Community for making safety and security a #1 priority!!! Our office has been under construction to create a secured vestibule for visitors as they enter. The new main entrance will be on the south side of the building where the ramp is located. We can't wait for parents to be allowed in our building again so you can see the wonderful, new improvements to keep our learners as safe as possible. You won't recognize it!!
Ballman is ready for testing, but more importantly, ready to be ALL they can be!!!
