In order to be included in the first BHS school lottery and course selection process, registration must be completed no later than this Friday, January 13.

Parents/guardians are asked to please take required documentation and re-enroll by visiting the BUSD Admissions Office at 2020 Bonar. You can find all the details, including the office hours and required documentation and much more, on the Berkeley High School webpage, under the "Prospective Families" menu. The process outlined is for Berkeley Residents Only. For information on Interdistrict Permits, please contact the Admissions Office directly at 644-6504.

The deadline for ALL current BUSD 8th graders and students new-to BUSD to register for 9th grade and participate in the first learning community lottery is this Friday, January 13, 2017.
