BSC Weekly Newsletter

We hope all of our Balboa families enjoyed a safe and spooktacular Halloween! We also hope you remembered to turn your clocks back as we welcomed the return of daylight saving time. As we head into November, cooler temperatures and shorter days are upon us, along with parent-teacher conferences, minimum days, and a shorter three-week instructional month. It’s shaping up to be a busy month, so be sure to stay connected and keep an eye out for important school updates!

Thank you to Room Parent Nona for creating this helpful November calendar!

Enjoy a Happy Meal and a McFlurry on November 10th and you'll catch some familiar faces serving you food and selling cookies! Don't forget to bring cash for cookies and tips! 20% of ALL sales go straight to Balboa. You deserve a break today!

The details - A portion of all dining sales throughout the evening will be donated to the Balboa Spirit Club to support our programming. Additionally, some special guests and members of our student council will be selling cookies to support their events and activities. Cookie sales and tips will go directly to the student council. Thanks for your support!

Calling all parents who would like to do some gardening during the week! The library garden needs constant weeding, trimming and upkeep. Please add your name here and VP of Greening will reach out to get you set up! Must be an official LAUSD volunteer.

There are many ways to volunteer and help at Balboa. On campus volunteers must be cleared and approved by the district. Please complete a Volunteer Application at https://volunteerapp.lausd.net to get the process started.

All volunteers, new and returning, must complete an application each year (for each school). Please contact our Community Representative, Ms. Julie Shon, at julie.shon@lausd.net, should you need any assistance.

Thank you for supporting our school!

THANK YOU to all of the parent volunteers that have already helped during our first week of Psychomotor. Please continue to signup as the mornings cool down and the activities heat up.

Scholars participate in weekly Psychomotor activities, focused on following rules, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. Parent Volunteers are needed to facilitate these sessions. Please signup to help out your classroom (and others!). Please signup here.

Tips and Hints for facilitating a successful Psychomotor session are in the linked file below!
