*Berkeley High School Bulletin for Tuesday, January 17, 2017*
________________________________
*Dead Week and Final Exams*
Today is the first day of Dead Week, a time for study and preparation 
for next week's Semester 1 finals. There are no field trips scheduled, 
and there are only a few exceptions to quiet study this week. Please 
contribute to this vibe so that you and your peers can do your best on 
final exams, projects and presentations.

Remember: The College and Career Center is open Monday - Thursday from 
3:30 - 6:00 PM for drop-in tutorial assistance, teacher-led after school 
tutorials are available in almost every academic subject, and student 
athletes can come to room J-205 after school on Mondays, Wednesdays and 
Thursdays to finish homework before practice and get additional help in 
all subjects.

*Morning Sports Report*
Here's a summary of weekend sports results:

The boys varsity basketball team lost to San Leandro High. The girls 
varsity and JV basketball teams crushed Alameda, but the girls varsity 
team lost to Stockton's Brookside Christian in tournament play.

In boys soccer, the varsity team outscored Arroyo but Arroyo beat the JV 
squad. The girls varsity soccer team also beat Arroyo, and the girls 
freshman soccer team improved its record to 15-0 with victories over 
Bishop O'Dowd, College Park and Monte Vista.

If you don't hear a score, it's because the score has not yet been 
submitted. There are no scheduled games today.
________________________________
*REMINDER: Hall Pass Policy*
As previously announced, the administrative and safety teams are 
increasing 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 their attendance will receive positive recognition. 
Remember: when you miss class, you miss out on opportunities to learn, 
so make sure you're in class on time and at all times, ready to learn!
________________________________
*Entering & Leaving Campus During Instructional Time*
Effective today, during instructional time, all students should enter 
and exit via the ‘A Gate’ on Allston Way. The other entrances at 
Kittredge near the Attendance Office, Bancroft near the M building, and 
Martin Luther King where the G & H buildings meet will only be open 
before school, at lunch, and at dismissal. At all other times, the other 
entrances will be CLOSED. We thank you for your cooperation as we work 
to improve campus safety by minimizing points of entry and exit during 
instructional time.
________________________________
*Support the Women's Marches*
Do you want to stand up for women's rights and be an ally? If so, come 
to the C-Gallery at lunch today to help make posters and banners for the 
upcoming marches in both Oakland and Washington DC. All materials will 
be provided. Stop by and sign your name or write a positive message. 
Join Amnesty International today at lunch for this banner-making event.

The Attendance Office is now distributing Spring 2017 PE Waiver forms 
before school, during lunch and after school. The first portion of the 
waiver process is due back to the Attendance Office no later than 
Friday, February 3, 2017.

Students who participate in an organized and regulated sports activity 
can apply to receive 5 PE credits. NOTE: If you are a member of the 
Downtown Berkeley YMCA, you do not need to pick up a PE waiver; the YMCA 
will take care of the paperwork. Athletes on most Jacket sports teams 
also do not need to pick up a PE waiver; check the Athletic Director's
