ADMINISTRATION

1. Students interested in taking Honors Algebra 2 or Honors Math Analysis
next year must take the placement exam. If you are currently enrolled in an
Honors course at BHS and will end the year with an A or B you do not need to
take the test. Any other current BHS student may sign up on the sign up
sheets posted on the math office H113. Any off-campus students planning to
take the test should email Amy Burke at amy_burke at berkeley.k12.ca.us with
their preferred testing date. The test will take approximately one hour and
is to be given on Monday, April 5 and Tuesday, April 6 in H304 at 4:00.
Please note, this exam is different from the exam being offered to all
incoming 9th graders. It is being offered to current 9th, 10th and 11th
grade students both enrolled at BHS and coming into the school in the fall.

2. The CAHSEE is being offered in the Jacket Gym on Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week. Tuesday March 16th is the English portion and Wednesday is Math.
If you are a Senior or Junior who has not yet passed the exit exam, please
plan on attending. If you are a Sophomore who was absent for either part of
the February test, you should also plan on attending. The test will begin at
8:00 am. Please bring your student ID.
