SBCS ANNOUNCEMENTS Friday, February 3rd, 2023
Good Morning Ball Charter! Today is February 3rd, 2023
All students should be on step 368 for our school-wide reading step target. We hope that all students are on target to reach our 400 step celebration goal by February 16th.
SBCS Parents/Guardians: Returning Student electronic forms must be completed by February 10th. You must complete this form to enroll at Ball Charter for the 2023-2024 school year.
We are starting a referral free challenge for the month of February. All students are invited to the challenge! Your mission will be to remain referral free for the month of February by following the Ball Charter goals: I am here, I am safe, I am prepared, and I am respectful. Students who follow these goals everyday for the month of February will be invited to a team celebration at the end of the month.
The Parent Survey Supplement of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be conducted from January 24th - March 31, 2023. To take the survey please visit https://survey.5-essentials.or... and select the appropriate survey to begin. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child's school. As a parent, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about your child's school.
SPRINGFIELD BALL CHARTER SCHOOL has decided to hold a Read-a-thon this year!
Read-a-thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-a-thon starts Monday February 13, 2023.
About one week before our Read-a-thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader's account today by clicking on
https://www.read-a-thon.com/re... and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-a-thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Thanks so much,
SPRINGFIELD BALL CHARTER SCHOOL
