The PTSA invites ALL BHS parents and guardians to a parent education
evening: 

Teen Safety at School & After School 
When: Thursday, April 29, 7:15 to 9:00pm
Where: Library, Berkeley High School 

Speakers:  Ardarius McDonald, Dean of Students, Berkeley High School 
                               And 
Sergeant Jennifer Louis, Supervisor in the Youth Services Detail, Berkeley
Police Department 
 
Risky situations present themselves to teenagers every day.  At the same
time parents are realizing they have less control over the choices teens are
making.  In addition, teens may find themselves faced with directly
interacting with school administrators during the school day or officers in
the police department after school and on weekends. 
 
This parent education event is intended to help parents 
--- identify risk factors and warning signs of high risk behaviors
--- understand what to expect if teens find themselves faced with directly
interacting with school safety or police officers 
--- information about parental legal responsibilities
--- information to help parents play a proactive role in providing teens
with guidance around risk taking and the potential consequences   
 
BHS Dean of Students, Ardarius McDonald, will discuss teen safety at school
while Sergeant Jennifer Louis will discuss teen safety and the Berkeley
community outside of school.  

Sponsored and Funded By: PTSA and Berkeley High School Development Group

ALL BHS parents and guardians are warmly welcomed to all parent education
events. We are very excited to have Mr. McDonald and Sergeant Louis with us
for this important topic.  We hope you will attend.  If you can attend,
please RSVP -- this helps us make sure we have the right amount of chairs
set up. However, if you are not sure, just come to the meeting whether or
not you RSVP! 

Kind regards,

PTSA Volunteers
