or after school.  Berkeley High is using student IDs more this year.  For
example, you'll need one to get into rally day, which is coming up in a few
weeks.

after lunch.   If you get stopped in the tardy sweep your parents will get a
phone call.  So all you lunch slowpokes -- start getting back to campus
quicker from now on!

5. Sign-ups for the PSAT have begun for Sophomores and will continue through
October 7. The fee is $22 cash, check or money order (payable to Berkeley
High School). This is a practice for the SAT. Fees will be collected at the
Donohue Gym tickets windows during lunch and after school to 4 p.m.
