Choice (AC), Academy of Medicine and Public Service (AMPS), Arts and Humanities Academy (AHA), Berkeley International High School (BIHS), and Communication Arts and Sciences (CAS). Staff and student representatives from each SLC will discuss the offerings

saw a week prior, but geared for families. At the end of the assembly, although you are welcome to visit your student’s current classes, we invite you to instead visit our “Showcase” locations around campus where teachers from each SLC will be displaying student
work from their communities and welcoming all of your questions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
