District Announcements
Moving?

Is Your Family Moving this Summer?

If so, please note the following:

For elementary school families moving within the district: 
The Ball-Chatham School District is kindly requesting that parents who are moving to a home in a Ball-Chatham elementary school boundary other than the one they currently reside, please email Asst. Supt. Jill Larson at jlarson@chathamschools.org or call her at the District Office (217) 483-2416 as soon as possible with your new address. Doing so will greatly help the District hire the required number of teachers in the appropriate time period for each grade level.

For all families moving out of the Ball-Chatham School District to another school district: Please be aware that transfer requests by your new school district must be made as soon as possible, as our schools will be closed from June 12 to July 28, and requests will not be processed during that time.

Elementary School Boundaries

Attention parents of unregistered Kindergarten students and new students to the District:

The Ball-Chatham Board of Education approved cross-boundary transport to either Ball or Chatham Elementary for the 2013-14 school year only for students in over-capacity grade levels at Glenwood Elementary School. Once construction is complete at that school, all students who reside in the Glenwood Elementary School boundaries will attend GES. Until then, a waiting list is being developed. If availability opens up through the summer, families will be immediately notified by Asst. Supt. Jill Larson.

As of June 6, 2013: (This will be updated regularly)
  • Kindergarten – Waiting List
  • 1st grade – No Waiting List
  • 2nd grade – No Waiting List
  • 3rd grade – No Waiting List

For further information or clarification, please email Mrs. Jill Larson at jlarson@chathamschools.org or the District Office at 483-2416.
