Administration
1.	Exit Exams-We will administer the California Exit Exam 
(CAHSEE) on Tuesday, February 7th (English) and Wednesday, February 
8th (Math) to all tenth graders.  They must take this two-day test in 
order to graduate from high school in California.  Students must 
arrive at the Old Gym on Milvia
Street at 7:30 AM each day.  They should bring Number 2 pencils, a 
photo ID and a book to read if they finish one of the sections early. 
Calculators and scratch paper are not allowed.  This is an un-timed 
test;
it usually takes only 2 to 3 hours, but students have the regular 
school day to take it.  When they finish the test they will go to 
their class already in progress.  Contact Amy Frey if you have 
questions.

2.	Well, our Berkeley High Jazz Teams have done it again!  The 
BHS Jazz Ensemble combos and Jazz Lab Band 2A all rose to a

January 28th.  They excelled with the Jazz Lab Band 2A receiving 2nd 
Place in the single division, Combos winning 1st and 3rd places in 
their division along with a host of individual awards.  Our BHS Jazz 
Ensemble won overall sweepstakes in the AAAA Division, their delivery
