[BHS Etree] ADMIN: Keeping Students in Class

[BHS Etree]

Dear Berkeley High School community,

We would like to make you aware of several steps the administration is taking in an effort to improve attendance, ensure that all students are in class and learning, and increase campus safety.

Effective January 17, we will increase enforcement of the existing hall pass policy: all students who are out of class during instructional time must have a valid pass from an adult. Students who are out of class without a hall pass will be escorted back to class by an administrator and/or safety staff member and will earn a lunch detention that will be served on campus in the cafeteria.

Students who fail to report for lunch detention or who repeatedly cut class may receive additional lunch detentions, loss of other privileges, a mandatory parent meeting, and possible further consequences. Students who improve attendance will receive positive recognition; we would love to see and reward improved time spent in class and learning.

Also effective January 17, during instructional time, all students should enter and exit via the 'A Gate' on Allston Way. Visitors are required to enter the campus and sign in via the main entrance at 1980 Allston Way. The other entrances at Kittredge, Bancroft, and Martin Luther King will be open before school, at lunch, and at dismissal and will be closed during instructional time.

Thank you for your support.

The BHS Administrative Team
