*New to the bulletin today

ADMINISTRATION

*1. BHS will start tardy sweeps this week.  If you are stopped in a tardy
sweep your parents will be called.  Remember that three tardies is the same
as an absence.

2. Remember to get your student ID if you don't already have one.  Stop by
the counseling office and ask Robert Stiles to make you an ID during lunch
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.

BHS students who purchase the student designed "Swag" t-shirt will be
