Morning Announcements

Good Morning Ball Charter! Today is February 8th, 2023 

All students should be on step 380 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. 

The leader for the highest percentage of logins resulting in a green light is 3rd grade with 70%. This is the highest percentage so far this year! Amazing!! Will 3rd graders hold on to their lead or will someone else sneak ahead? Keep getting those green lights and if could be your grade level next week in the lead. 

Congratulations to the following students for mastering all of their basic facts and becoming 100% fluent on Reflex. Awesome work. So proud of each of you! 

Multiplication/Division: 

- Lorenzo C., Alex C. & Joi T.

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.
