Principal's Newsletter
Aug./Sept. 2018
Welcome Back to Another Amazing School Year!
We are excited to get another year of adventure up and running! If you haven't heard, Ballman had some of the highest academic growth in the state, and we are celebrating this Friday with inflatable obstacle courses on our playground. We are happy to be adding a new 5th grade class this year and welcome Ruby Dean as our new teacher. Great things are continually happening, and we know the sky is the limit at Ballman!! Let's enjoy the journey!!
Ballman Staff
Ballman Staff is loading up for another year and can't wait to see where we take our learners. We are excited to welcome Laura Gladden as our new assistant principal and know you will love her helping support our students! This year we will be focusing on cultures by studying and celebrating a different country each month. We will begin with the United States in September and will move to Australia for the month of October.
Parent Meeting
We will be hosting a parent meeting on the first Monday of each month at 8:15 in our auditorium. This meeting will not have an agenda and will be a meeting to answer any parent questions or offer assistance to help you understand the great things happening at Ballman. We will listen to your suggestions to make this the greatest school around!!
