Prom Ticket sales update & Health Check Update
These guidelines are subject to change.
You have your prom tickets. You have your friend groups ready to go. You

your vaccination card ready?
To enter the SF Galleria all guests will need to show proof that you are
‘vaccinated with a complete initial series’ or a negative test before
entering. ‘Vaccinated with a complete initial series’ means two weeks
removed from the final dose of a CDC‐approved vaccine. You can show the CDC
card, a photo of the card, or a digital copy of the card as long as the
name, vaccination date, and type of vaccine are clearly visible.
For Guests not up to date with their covid vaccination, including the
unvaccinated and those who are less than two weeks from having received
their 2nd dose, they must provide proof of a negative result from a
COVID‐19 test administered within 24 hours. At the door, you could show a
printed document or digital record (text, email, app screen, etc.) of the
negative test results, which should include the individual’s name, date of
birth, and date of when the test was taken. Physical tests will not be
accepted as proof of a negative test result.

Prom Policy: In order to attend prom, students should not be involved in
conduct that violates education code and school rules from February 1-March
18. If there is a violation of the education code and school rules you will
be excluded from prom. In December, the attendance office sent students who
have 30+ unexcused absences a letter home notifying them that they cannot
attend Senior Prom.
-You can earn yourself off the prom exclusion list by showing improvement
in your attendance. You will need to complete a 2-week attendance that
you can pick up from the attendance office. You must have no unexcused
period absences or CUTs during your 2 week attendance card and it must be
completed before March 11th, the end of quarter 3. You can attend tutoring
in the College and Career Center or through teacher tutorials and complete
the attached Unexcused Absence Clearance Form to clear up to 12 unverified
absences from the previous month. If you can get your unexcused absences
count under 30, you will be removed from the Prom Exclusion list. Please
email Ms. Watson at amanwatson at berkeley.net if you have any questions about
this

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:
