Recent General Family Meeting: College Night
Fatima from the College Room came by and gave us a presentation chock full of information on:
- The College Room is open Mon–Thursday to help with essays & applications
- Different kinds of higher education: In state Community colleges, CA State Universities (CSUs) and UCs (University of CA), and Private colleges and universities (1000s)
- Different application standards and requirements for many schools, but the Common Application covers the majority, and that can be found online
- Lots of financial aid: scholarships, grants, and programs for low income and first-generation college students
- Many dates and deadlines to keep in mind, so get informed early! And as always, ask for teacher recommendations early

General Family Meetings for the Balboa Community
All General Family Meetings are open to the Balboa community—students, parents, and staff— and are held at 6:00pm in the Buccaneer Room at Balboa High School. They cover a wide variety of topics and are for the benefit of our Bal community. A light dinner is served, and attendees get community hours*!
Board Meetings
We also have PTSA Board Meetings at which we approve funding requests and take care of other business of the PTSA.
If you'd like to join our board meetings to see what is going on with Bal, we'd love to have you. Email us for a link to the zoom meeting (or about anything else).
*Each year, Bal students are required to do 25 hours of community service.
