Ball Charter School’s believe that a critical key to success for both our schools and students is parent engagement. With this in mind, we highly encourage our parents to volunteer in our classroom and our events. The partnership between the parents and educators is vital to the students.

Site Council

Site Council is comprised of teachers, support staff, administration, and parents. The goal of Site Council is to allow all groups of stakeholders to have a voice in the growth and improvement of the school. We encourage all parents to attend the meetings and gain information on how to be engaged in the school and your child’s education.
