ADMINISTRATION

1. Berkeley High, this is the dean of attendance, with a reminder that
anybody who misses 30 periods of class without an excuse will get blocked
from school dances and from work permits.  Every three tardies will count as
one unexcused absence. And yes, they will accumulate all year.  If you
attend Saturday school from 9am to 1 pm, you can excuse six of your most
recent period absences. In Saturday school, tutors will help you with work
you missed the days you were absent. Free breakfast, too. If you want to
sign up for Saturday school-speak to me or anybody in the attendance office.
Space is limited to the first 30 students who sign up.  Our first Saturday
school date is coming up November 10th. After that we'll have Saturday
school every other week.

2. Exit Exams- Seniors and Juniors Wednesday morning at 8:00am in the Jacket
gym.
