Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
 
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Charles C. Ball Dual Language Academy’s 2018- 2019 school year. The teachers and staff join me in saying we are happy to have you as part of our school family. We know this will be a successful and satisfying year for you.  

We have some exciting new learning experiences for our students this year.  We will begin creating a community garden to attract Monarch butterflies and we’ve added robotics for all grade levels. Students will continue to experience Project Based Learning (PBL) and will have an opportunity to share their learning with the community through Learning Fairs where everyone is welcome.   

We are incredibly honored and proud to be a Dual Language Academy and in offering this opportunity to Pre-Kinder thru 3rd grade students.   We feel this will have an incredible impact on students who are part of the Dual Language Program.

Our 7th and 8th grade students will experience a secondary environment by having the opportunity to participate in sports, band, and other elective choices.  Students will also experience an A-B block schedule to increase their learning opportunities in preparation for high school.

One of our biggest goals for the year is to help your child feel successful and achieve academic excellence. By working together as parents and educators, we can build a foundation of lifelong learning. We are committed to providing learning opportunities for intellectual risk-taking, collaboration, problem-solving, and application of classroom learning to real-life situations.

Once again, it’s a privilege to be the principal at Ball Dual Language Academy, and my staff is available to support you in any way we can.  Have a great day.
 
Sincerely,
Gregory D. Rivers
Principal
