*NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS*


*Students & Staff can receive free at-home COVID tests before winter break
and ahead of the Spring 2022 vaccination mandate. See recent email from Mr.
Raygoza.*


*Student ID Cards Will Be Required in January*

In an increased effort to maintain campus safety and also to help us hold
students accountable for being in class, you will be required to carry your
student ID with you at all times during the school day. This includes when
you enter through the main office doors or when you leave the classroom to
go to the bathroom, health center, counseling office, or any other location
on campus and you can expect to be asked for your ID by administrators and
safety officers if you are out of class during the class period. This new
policy will be effective January 3, 2022 (the start of second semester).


If you have not yet taken a school ID photo this school year, please come
see Ms. Tiffany Sutherland in the main office today (Tuesday 12/14) at
lunch or after school between 3:30-4:30pm so you can take a new photo. If
you require a reprint because you lost your ID you may also come see her
for a complimentary replacement card. After January 3rd, any replacement ID
will carry a fee of $10.

*The Guardian Project Has Expanded Capacity*

The Guardian Project is a non-profit founded in 2015 that offers free
martial arts to youth. Guardian has recently moved to South Berkeley on
Sacramento St, less than one mile away from Berkeley High. With this move
they are accepting new students ages 14-18 interested in learning Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu.This program will focus on the grappling side of MMA with
takedowns, dominant ground control, and submission attacks. Last week we
boosted our age range another 2 years so now all high schoolers will be
eligible (ages 14-18).


Watch their updated video https://we.tl/t-cTtJVV3t6X


All students will be 100% sponsored to take classes, provided training
gear, and the chance to compete in local tournaments if interested. This
program has limited availability, if you are interested in enrollment
please apply at guardiangym.org.

For any questions you can follow Guardian on instagram at @guardiangym.

*This is a local Berkeley organization that is not affiliated with
BHS/BUSD.*

*Notification of Non-Discrimination Policy*

The Berkeley Unified School District is committed to providing a
hostile-free working and learning environment. The District prohibits
discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based
on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender,
gender identity/expression, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding/lactation
status (related medical conditions), religion, color, national origin
(including language restrictions and possession of a driver’s license
(issued under Vehicle Code), ancestry, immigration status, physical or
mental disability (including clinical depression and bipolar disorder,
HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, epilepsy, seizure disorder, diabetes, multiple
sclerosis, and heart attack), medical condition (cancer-related and genetic
characteristics), military and veteran status, marital status, registered
domestic partner status, age (40 and above), genetic information, political
belief or affiliation (unless union related), a person’s association with a
person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived
characteristics, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local
law, ordinance, or regulation in any program or activity it conducts or to
which it provides significant assistance.


Discrimination is different treatment based on a protected characteristic
in the context of an educational program, work or activity without a
legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason that interferes with or limits the
individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services,
activities, or privileges provided by the District or includes an adverse
employment action.


Hostile environment harassment occurs when a target is subjected to
unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, which is both
subjectively offensive to the target and would be offensive to a reasonable
person of similar circumstances/characteristics and is sufficiently so
severe, and so pervasive to interfere with or limit an individual’s ability
to effectively work or to participate in or benefit from the services,
activities, or opportunities offered by the District. Harassment may take
many forms, including but not limited to, verbal remarks and name-calling,
graphic and written statements, or any conduct that may be threatening or
humiliating. Harassment based on any of the above protected categories is a
form of unlawful discrimination and will not be tolerated by the District
and can result in disciplinary action against the offending student or
employee.


Upon witnessing an act of discrimination, harassment, bullying,
intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived protected
characteristics, school personnel are required to take immediate steps to
intervene when it is safe to do so. Once a school/office has expressed
notice or reason to know of such conduct, whether carried out by employees,
students, or third parties, it should take immediate and appropriate steps
to investigate, determine what occurred, take prompt and effective steps
reasonably calculated to end the conduct, eliminate a hostile environment,
if one has been created and prevent the conduct from occurring again. These
steps should be taken regardless of whether an individual makes a complaint
or asks the school/office to take action. Complaints are protected from
retaliation. The District prohibits retaliation against any person who
files a complaint or an appeal, reports instances of noncompliance,
discrimination, harassment, bullying, and intimidation, or who participates
in the complaint-filing or investigation process. This nondiscriminatory
policy applies to all acts related to school activity or school attendance
within any school/office under the jurisdiction of the Berkeley Unified
School District.


For more information, or to file a complaint please contact:

District Title IX Coordinator/Compliance Officer Berkeley Unified School
District, 2020 Bonar Street, Room 117, Berkeley CA 94702 Phone: (510)
486-9338; Email: complaints at berkeley.net
