Student & Family Resources
Whether you’re new to our school or a longtime Ball Camp School family, we want to provide the resources you need to achieve success.
This is a central hub for students and families to easily access important information including enrollment, student handbooks, information about schedules, extra curricular activities, and more!
Enrollment
Ball Camp Elementary School serves around 560 students in kindergarten through fifth grades.
Enrollment for students who are new to the district can be done by completing the enrollment packet and providing necessary medical shot records and proof of address. If have any questions in this process, please feel free to call our school at 865-539-7888.
Daily Schedule
At Ball Camp Elementary, the school day begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 2:45 p.m. on regular school days. Students must attend for at least 3.5 hours to be counted present for the school day.
On district scheduled half-days, the school day begins at 7:45 a.m., and dismissal will be at 11:15 a.m. It is important to note that lunch is not served on these half-days. If your student is picked up by a daycare, please check with your provider to make sure they pick-up on these days.
After School Care
YMCA is Ball Camp's only on-site after-care provider, but several other organizations offer pickup and transportation to off-site programs.
Extracurricular Activities
Ball Camp offers several after school and extracurricular opportunities. Through these clubs and others, students have the opportunity to expand their classroom learning, get to know peers with similar interests, and explore new skills.
Student Supports
The entire staff of Ball Camp Elementary School is committed to establishing an atmosphere in which children will feel safe, secure, and happy so they maximize their opportunities to learn and achieve. The school has trained counselors and social workers on staff.
Library / Media Center
Our library is a hub for student learning, reading, and discovery. The library media center's goal is to support literacy and foster a love of reading. Our library media center is more than an area where students check-out books. They engage in researching information and learn what it means to be a responsible digital citizen.
Support Organization
The Ball Camp PTA is a collaborative group of parents, teachers, and school staff who work together to support the school community.
