ADMINISTRATION

1. The California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) will be Tuesday, Feb. 5 and Wednesday, Feb. 6. This is a requirement for graduation and all sophomores are required to take the exam on both days.  Students who do not pass the exam will have other opportunities to retake the portion that they do not pass during their junior or senior year.  If your last name begins with the letter "A-L" then report to the Donahue Gym.  If your last name begins with the letters "M-Z" report to the Jacket Gym. All 10th graders should report to Berkeley High by 7:30 am on both days.  Students will return to their regular scheduled class once they finish.

*2.  February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month!  Dating Violence is abusive behavior that one person in a relationship uses to take power and control over their partner.  That can include anything from taking or breaking a partner’s belongings, to making threats, physical violence, or preventing a partner from seeing their friends or family.  One in three teens experiences some form of dating abuse, and many are afraid to report it. If you or someone you know is experiencing teen dating violence, you are not alone!  The health Center is here for you.  Stop by during regular hours to talk.

3. Remember what great books Little Brother and For the Win are? Cory Doctorow, who wrote these books, will be here in the library 6th period on Friday, February 8, talking to classes.  He’s staying after school to visit with students.  Students will be able to buy a book and have it signed.  Cory has two new books out and loves to talk to students about them, the internet, intellectual freedom or anything else.  Please come by and meet a real, live author!  Please see Ms. Goldstein- Erickson or Ms. Provence if you have any questions.
