>>WARNING:  BUSD MAY BE CHANGING THEIR E-MAIL SYSTEM FROM FIRST CLASS
TO OUTLOOK EXPRESS.  This may affect the response time of e-mails as
well as cause e-mails to bounce back.  If you are having difficulties
getting through to Mr. Weitz during the summer, ASSUME your child will
receive the testing date you requested and show up on that day. 

The Berkeley High School math department will conduct a second round
of Honors testing for the 08/09 school year in late August/early
September. The August dates are Tuesday 8/19 and Wednesday 8/20 and
the exams will be given at 10:30 am in the College Career Center
(located in the administration building).  The September dates are
Tuesday 9/2 and Thursday 9/4 and the exams will be given at 3:45 pm in
room H306.  Students take an exam to test into either Honors Geometry,
Honors Algebra 2 or Honors Math Analysis.  All exams consist of a
45-problem multiple-choice test to be completed in 45 minutes.
Students need to bring a pencil and a scientific (non-graphing)
calculator.  Students new to the district also need to supply the
e-mail address of their current math teacher.

Students need to sign up with Mr. Weitz via e-mail to take the test.
His e-mail is [mailto:mweitz at berkeley.k12.ca.us]. Please notify him of
the name of the student, what test they want to sign >up for and what
date they want to take the test.  If you don't receive an immediate
confirmation, you may assume you have the date you requested. Mr.
Weitz will notify you directly if a requested session is full. The
policy on honors testing is all students who want to take an honors
math class at Berkeley High School must pass the placement test unless
they pass the previous Honors class at Berkeley High School with a B
or better. Only students who have not taken the honors test or are who
were offered a retake may take the test.
