Berkeley Unified is embarking on a process to assess how our current
communication is serving our community and how our district can improve in this
area. Over the next weeks, there will be various opportunities for teachers, staff,
parents, and the community to provide feedback and input through questionnaires
and forums. We want to hear from you!<br>
<br>
You can get more information about this initiative and respond to the Berkeley
Schools Communication Campaign questionnaire by visiting the district website:<br>
<a href="http://www.berkeley.net/communications">http://www.berkeley.net/communications</a><br>
The questionnaire will be open online until March 18<sup>th</sup> and is available
in paper copy in the school office for those who do not have internet access.<br>
