johnvillavicencio at berkeley.net.

Hello and Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!

Here are a few things you may have missed if you weren't able to attend the
Back to School Distribution Week...

When is the first day of school?

Classes start on Wednesday, August 16th at 8:30 am. Please note that there
is no “0” period on this first day of school.

If I will miss registration week, what do I need to do?

We understand that not everyone will return in time. There are make-up
school ID photo dates scheduled for August 15, September 18, and October 30
before school, at lunch and after school in the BHS Cafeteria. Staff,
please consider escorting groups of students who remain without a student
ID on the make-up dates. You will be able to access your class schedule
online and should attend your courses as listed. If you need textbooks,
your teachers will help guide you to the textbook room and in some cases,
will take the entire class during the period. If you need more help, please
check in at the entrance gates with an adult or student leader upon your
arrival. Please refer to the BHS main website for more details like bell
schedule, campus map, etc… <https://bhs.berkeleyschools.net/>

If I did take my school ID photo, but DID NOT pick up the ID card:

We will send out more information soon on a pickup time, date, and
location.

FREE BREAKFAST & LUNCH FOR ALL STUDENTS All students will be able to
receive FREE breakfast and FREE lunch throughout the entire school year.
Nevertheless, you are encouraged to apply for EZ Meal.

EZ MEAL APP Even though a lunch application is not required for free school
meals, your family should consider completing an online EZ MEAL APP
<http://secure.ezmealapp.com/> to take advantage of discounts and other
benefits.

COLLEGE & CAREER CENTER - 2ND Floor D-BUILDING Located on the second floor
of the D-building, the Berkeley High School College and Career Center (CCC)
provides a variety of resources for college and career planning.  In the
CCC, students can obtain information on College (Community Colleges, 4-year
Universities, etc.), Testing & Test Prep, Financial Aid and Scholarships,
and Career Pathways.

As a 9th grader, you can use the CCC for after-school tutoring in all
subjects after school Monday-Thursday. The college advisors are Yasmin
Navarro and Jennifer Hammond who you will meet soon. They won’t formally
connect with you about college until junior year, so if you're wondering
how best to prepare to get into college, get the best grades you can, get
tutoring when you're having a hard time, and involve yourself in your
community so you can be as happy and inspired at BHS as possible!

BHS LIBRARY - 2ND Floor D-BUILDING You will have the ability to access the
library on your own outside of class time, as well as during your classes
with your teachers. The BHS Library is open a half hour before school
(8:00am Tues-Fri, 9:30 am Mon), during lunch, and an hour after school
(3:30 - 4:30pm). Due to changing Covid guidelines we are not sure about
eating in the library but signs will be posted! One of the librarians, Ms.
Rosenkrantz or Ms. Irby, will always be there to support you with anything
you need - finding a great new independent reading book, help with
printing, accessing an assignment in google classroom or answering
questions. You will also come to the library to pick up any textbooks you
need (that you don’t get in class or from your teacher.) The textbook
clerk, Ms. Fitzhugh, can answer any questions you have about class
materials. Come visit us in the BHS Library!

TITLE IX OFFICE AND RESOURCE WALL (G202A)

While we hope you may never need access to a Title IX Coordinator, it’s
important to know there is one. Title IX Office and Resource Wall is
located in G202A and there you can find Title IX Coordinator’s office
hours, link to her calendar, and complaint forms. Now, what is Title IX?
Title IX is a federal law that was passed to ensure that male and female
students in educational settings are treated equally and fairly. It
protects against discrimination based on sex (including sexual harassment).
In addition, Title IX protects transgender students and students who do not
conform to gender stereotypes. State law also prohibits discrimination
based on gender (sex), gender expression, gender identity, and sexual
orientation. If you feel you have been discriminated against because of
your sex, gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation (real
or perceived) - please report your experience so that the school can take
the necessary steps to end the harassment, correct inappropriate behavior,
and provide you with supportive measures. You may report to your counselor,
teacher, administrator, or the Title IX Coordinator directly.

YMCA TEEN CENTER - ACROSS CIVIC CENTER PARK The YMCA Teen Center is a space
for you to foster your leadership and confidence so you will overcome
life's challenges. Located right across from Berkeley High, the Teen Center
offers different programs that prepare your college readiness, leadership
skills, volunteerism, and job readiness.

Or, if you are not wanting to commit to a program yet, you can take
advantage of free wifi, computers, and access to our lounge that has study
spaces, couches, and tv/XBox.
