1. Berkeley High School Information Night for incoming families. Information Night for all incoming 9th grade families will take place on Wednesday, February 17 at 7 p.m. in the Berkeley Community Theater on the Berkeley High School campus. At Information Night 2010 representatives from the five small schools and the school's two programs as well as department heads will make presentations or be available to answer questions. Information Night is an essential first step in the process of signing up for classes for the fall of 2010. All students, parents, and guardians should plan on attending. Spanish translation will be available.

2. Families coming from non-BUSD feeder schools should register with student services at 1835 Allston Way between Feb. 9 and Feb. 12. Information on how to register will be available shortly at http://www.berkeley.net/index.php?page=high-school. Course registration for families coming into the district will take place in the evening on March 1 and March 8 at Berkeley High School. At that time students will sign up for classes and indicate their small learning community preferences.

3. Families coming from King, Longfellow, and Willard DO NOT have to register their children—they are automatically rolled over. There will be evening meetings for parents and guardians on the following nights at each school: Willard, Feb. 23; King, March 2; Longfellow, March 9. Spanish translation will be available. Students from King, Longfellow and Willard will register for classes and small learning community preferences during the school day.  

4. Please be aware parking for events that take place at Berkeley High School is difficult and events do start on time.

We are looking forward to welcoming you and your child to high school!
