[ETREE Note: The BHS Office of Student Activities was informed by 
CALTRANS today, 5/22/06, that the east bound direction coming to 
Oakland from San Francisco will be closed Saturday Night 
12:00am-11:00am Sunday Morning.  This closure will impact all students 
planning to attend the BHS Senior Ball at the Hotel Nikko, 222 Mason 
St. in San Francisco, on June 3rd, 2006.

The alternate directions for leaving San Francisco after the prom are:
* Use of the Golgen Gate Bridge to Richmond
* Use of the San Mateo Bridge through to 880 Hayward
* Use of BART which will operate throughout the night (recommended)

CALTRANS will be providing our office with a map and specific
instructions which will be forwarded immediately upon its arrival.  I
would like to make the following recommendations and provide this
important information:

1) Please notify Limousine companies of the any and all traffic updates.
2) Make sure all student drivers have clear directions on how to get 
home after the prom.
3) Students can dial 511 from the cell phones for the latest traffic 
information.  ("Request Road Conditions" and say "Bay Bridge")
3) Encourage students to remain at the prom until 12:30am as to miss 
the gridlock of traffic from people trying to beat the closure time.
4) Have students ride bart or carpool.
5) Drive Safe and Sober.  Cone Zones will be in full effect.
6) Plan to leave the East Bay no later than 7:00 pm.  Traffic will be 
heavy.


6.  There are four free prom dresses available in D148.  Please see 
Ivery McKnight-Johnson.

campus, including admissions, majors, financial aid and important 
contact information.

8.  Scholarships for Seniors: Are you a low income senior who did not 
get enough money in your financial aid package to meet your full need?  
You can apply for the Sallie Mae Unmet Need Scholarship and win up to a

to students who are US citizens or permanent residents, have a family 
adjusted gross income of $30,000 or less.  Applications available in
