[BHS Etree] BULLETIN: Student Daily Bulletin, Feb. 16 (Thu)

Thu Feb 16 15:17:05 PST 2017

Announcements are put together in the BHS Main Office, by Felicia Phillips
feliciaphillips at berkeley.net. For those of you who do not hear the
announcements where you are during second period, or if you would like to
read them each day, you can find them in the Daily Bulletin section of
Powerschool.

*A Message from the BHS Administrative Team *
Students, we want to acknowledge that today, across our country, people are
choosing to take national action by participating in a Day Without
Immigrants boycott. We here at BHS do stand as allies with our immigrant
students and staff, and we encourage those of you who are not immigrants to
stand together with those who are. You can do this by listening, asking how
people are feeling about recent national events, and letting them know that
you are a safe person to talk with. We as a school will be continuing to
work on plans and a protocol to keep students safe in the event of any
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement activity in Berkeley. We were aware of
the worries yesterday spreading on social media regarding ICE activity in
the area, and we want to promise that we will investigate any rumors
immediately and let you know if there is any real cause for concern. We
stand with you, and we stand together.

*NO SCHOOL on February 17 and 20 *

*SENIORS: Final Date for Senior Portraits*

Seniors: If you haven't taken your senior portrait for the yearbook, you
have exactly one more opportunity to be included. Our school photographer
will be on campus Thursday, February 16, and you can schedule an
appointment online. Go to www.abcschoolportraits.com and click on
Portraits. There is no charge to be photographed for the yearbook only.

*Reminders from the BHS Safety Team *
Here are a few reminders from the safety team: our expectation is that
students will leave the Campus Green and M Building areas immediately after
6th period has ended. Students should proceed to Bridge, the CCC,
teacher-led tutorials, the library the courtyard, or off campus. We will
clear the entire campus at 3:45. Thank you for your cooperation as we work
to ensure a safe campus for all students and staff.
