Ballico School Plans Author Visits and Parent Information Night on November 17

BALLICO, Merced County. Families interested in reading and school engagement have a locally listed event on Tuesday, November 17, 2026. The Ballico-Cressey School District calendar schedules an author visit for students during the school day and a parent information night from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Ballico cafeteria.

What happens during the school day?

The published calendar lists separate author-visit sessions for TK–2, grades 3–5 and grades 6–8. The first session is listed from 8:50–9:45 a.m., the second from 9:50–10:45 a.m., and the third from 10:50–11:45 a.m.. School-day events should not be assumed to admit walk-in members of the public.

Evening information session for families

The district separately lists an event titled “A Day to Be Brave — Brave Beginnings!”, at 6–7:30 p.m. in the Ballico cafeteria. The calendar names the event but does not provide enough detail to promise a particular author, speaker, admission procedure or free materials. Parents should confirm the audience and participation rules with the school.

Confirm before attending

The district’s main campus and administrative office is at 11818 Gregg Street, Ballico, telephone (209) 394-9400. Use the live November calendar for changes. These are school district activities, not city-sponsored events.
