Dear Incoming Families,

Please find in this message important information to help plan your transition to Berkeley High School.


1.    BHS Athletics Team Info Meeting
Wednesday, May 9, 7:00-8:30 p.m, BHS library.
Athletic Director Britta Fjelstrom will host an informational meeting for REGISTERED incoming 9th graders and parent/guardians only. Many coaches will be in attendance. Come learn about summer sports opportunities, participating in any of the 29 Varsity (JV and Freshmen) teams, and learn how to fill out registration forms online over the summer so you are ready for Fall/Winter/Spring seasons. Football starts in July. All other Fall sports begin tryouts mid-August.

*This event is for any incoming 9th grader who is registered to attend Berkeley High in the Fall. California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) bylaws state that any student who is not currently registered is not allowed to have pre-enrollment contact with Coaches and Athletics staff. Thank you for your understanding.* Questions: athleticdirector at berkeley.net<mailto:athleticdirector at berkeley.net>
