PTSA Calendar — Information Link to this section
There are two kinds of PTSA meetings: Family Meetings and Board Meetings.
All Family Meetings are at 6:00 PM in the Buccaneer Room.
Family Meetings for the Balboa Community Link to this section
All 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 roughly every month during the school year. They cover a variety of topics, and a light dinner is served. Our student attendees get community hours! (Each year, Bal students are required to do 25 hours of community service.)

Why is it the "PTSA" instead of the "PTA"? Link to this section
There are two options to name a local chapter of this national organization. PTA stands for Parent-Teacher Association, while according to Bal PTSA lore, PTSA stands for Parent-Teacher-Student-Administrators (association). It matches with our commitment to be inclusive of everyone, including our students and administrators. One love!
