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@berkeley.net

Survey for Bullying Prevention Program 

BHS Bias Based Bullying Assessment 

Berkeley High School Athletics Program belongs to the Positive Coaching Alliance. The Positive Coaching Alliance, in partnership with the National School Climate Center, is launching a Bullying Prevention Program in which high school athletes lead a bullying prevention campaign. Only four schools were invited to participate in this student-led leadership opportunity! 

One essential piece of the student-led effort is to survey all students. Athlete leaders will use the information to guide their planning and campaign. 

We need 2nd period class assistance so that we can have enough student responses that will enable the student athlete leaders to plan an impactful bullying prevention campaign.

If you’d like more information, here is the Athletes with Courage: Bullying Prevention Flyer

Cob on Wood Service (and Pizza!)

…building (mini) homes for people who need them

Date: Sunday, February 26 from 1230 – 630pm

Here is your chance to help build homes for people who need them. Cob on Wood, a small non-profit in Oakland builds tiny homes (and communities) for people experiencing homelessness. Join in for an afternoon where you will walk away seeing the impact of a day’s work.

Location: We begin and end our day at B’nai Tikvah. Then travel together to Cob on Wood in Oakland

You will spend the afternoon plastering, painting, and tiling 1-2 homes at Cob on Wood’s site.  The adventure will also include learning more about the mission of Cob on Wood, poverty alleviation strategies, and pizza with the growing community of teens like you dedicated to changing the world.

Teens attending should plan to wear long sleeves and long pants; close-toed shoes (boots preferred) and hats. Water bottles, gloves, and KN95 masks (to keep out construction site dust) should also be brought. (We will have masks and gloves if your teen doesn’t have them.)

Covid Note: We do ask that participating teens be vaccinated for Covid. In the event that a teen is not vaccinated, they will need to send in a negative Covid test the morning of the event and will be asked to wear masks while on site.

Please use this form to register your teen to participate in this afternoon event.  If your teen is already enrolled in CCM’s “Impact Builder”, no fee is needed to participate as this workshop is included in the annual program cost. All other teens are welcome for a subsidized program fee of $20 which includes pizza lunch, transportation, educator costs, and honorariums to the nonprofits we are visiting.

Impact Builder is part of the national “Better to Serve” program, operated by a prominent national Jewish Foundation. Costs are supplemented by the program.  CCM works to make all programming accessible for all teens, regardless of their ability to pay. 

For Questions, please contact:

CCM’s office @ 925/944-4701 or office@ccmidrasha.com 

Shekhiynah Larks – shekhiynahlarks@gmail.com 

Juliana Tenenbaum – julianatenenbaum@gmail.com 

Don’t forget to formally register your teen for Impact Builder at: https://www.ccmidrasha.com/impactbuilder

Eligible voters from the Class of 2024, 2025, and 2026, please take some time to review the candidates so that you can make an informed decision when ASB voting takes place in late March. 

2023 Election Handbook

Applications for elected and appointed positions are open.

Learn more about the due dates, election timeline and more by clicking here.

new due date is midnight on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24th

STILL OPEN ELECTED CANDIDATE POSITIONS:

a. The BSEP/SSC committee is the most powerful decision-making group on campus, composed of the principal, teachers, administrators, parents, and students. They decide on the school schedule, distribute resources to small schools and programs, and approve the school safety plans. Members also help decide what programs to fund with the $800,000 BSEP fund. Student Court, the RISE tutoring program, Afro-Haitian dance, college/career counselors, and CAS video production are just a few initiatives that have been funded through BSEP. There are 3 positions available with 2 alternates. This position will be voted on in the fall.

b. The Chief of Service ensures that BHS maintains its high reputation for providing service to the greater Berkeley and even global community. You have service requirements – the Chief of Service creates opportunities for you to have fun meeting those requirements.

c. The ASB Vice President fills the shoes of the ASB President in their absence. The ASB Vice President works with the Student Senate to receive input from the student body. Also, the Vice President works with the President to lead the executive team, and to start projects and initiatives to serve the student body.

Contact Mr. V with any questions.

Teen Talk app

Do you need someone to talk to during these difficult times? Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, need a listening ear, or coping tools, Teen Talk App is here for you.  

Teen Talk is an app for people aged 13-19 to anonymously post about whatever they may be going through and trained advisors (who are also teens) will be available to talk to you on the app between 5 and 10pm.  And if you are interested in being a teen advisor, there are virtual trainings open to teens across the US.  You will be able to 1) learn how to help real teens with real stories, 2) meet and train with like minded teens from across the US, 3) have a remote and flexible volunteer experience, 4) gain community service hours, and 5) have the ability to make  an impact worldwide. 

Visit the website www.teentalkapp.org for more information about both of these programs!

Cob on Wood Service (and Pizza!)

…building (mini) homes for people who need them

Date: Sunday, February 26 from 1230 – 630pm

Here is your chance to help build homes for people who need them. Cob on Wood, a small non-profit in Oakland builds tiny homes (and communities) for people experiencing homelessness. Join in for an afternoon where you will walk away seeing the impact of a day’s work.

Location: We begin and end our day at B’nai Tikvah. Then travel together to Cob on Wood in Oakland

You will spend the afternoon plastering, painting, and tiling 1-2 homes at Cob on Wood’s site.  The adventure will also include learning more about the mission of Cob on Wood, poverty alleviation strategies, and pizza with the growing community of teens like you dedicated to changing the world.

Teens attending should plan to wear long sleeves and long pants; close-toed shoes (boots preferred) and hats. Water bottles, gloves, and KN95 masks (to keep out construction site dust) should also be brought. (We will have masks and gloves if your teen doesn’t have them.)

Covid Note: We do ask that participating teens be vaccinated for Covid. In the event that a teen is not vaccinated, they will need to send in a negative Covid test the morning of the event and will be asked to wear masks while on site.

Please use this form to register your teen to participate in this afternoon event.  If your teen is already enrolled in CCM’s “Impact Builder”, no fee is needed to participate as this workshop is included in the annual program cost. All other teens are welcome for a subsidized program fee of $20 which includes pizza lunch, transportation, educator costs, and honorariums to the nonprofits we are visiting.

Impact Builder is part of the national “Better to Serve” program, operated by a prominent national Jewish Foundation. Costs are supplemented by the program.  CCM works to make all programming accessible for all teens, regardless of their ability to pay. 

For Questions, please contact:

CCM’s office @ 925/944-4701 or office@ccmidrasha.com 

Shekhiynah Larks – shekhiynahlarks@gmail.com 

Juliana Tenenbaum – julianatenenbaum@gmail.com 

Don’t forget to formally register your teen for Impact Builder at: https://www.ccmidrasha.com/impactbuilder

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@berkeley.net

BHS Bias Based Bullying Assessment 

Berkeley High School Athletics Program belongs to the Positive Coaching Alliance. The Positive Coaching Alliance, in partnership with the National School Climate Center, is launching a Bullying Prevention Program in which high school athletes lead a bullying prevention campaign. Only four schools were invited to participate in this student-led leadership opportunity! 

One essential piece of the student-led effort is to survey all students. Athlete leaders will use the information to guide their planning and campaign. 

We need 2nd period class assistance so that we can have enough student responses that will enable the student athlete leaders to plan an impactful bullying prevention campaign.

Thank you for providing 5 minutes of classroom time during the 2nd period class so that students can take the survey. The Friday announcements will have a brief video reminder and introduction, as well as the survey link.

Survey for Bullying Prevention Program

BHS Bias Based Bullying Assessment 

Berkeley High School Athletics Program belongs to the Positive Coaching Alliance. The Positive Coaching Alliance, in partnership with the National School Climate Center, is launching a Bullying Prevention Program in which high school athletes lead a bullying prevention campaign. Only four schools were invited to participate in this student-led leadership opportunity! 

One essential piece of the student-led effort is to survey all students. Athlete leaders will use the information to guide their planning and campaign. 

We need 2nd period class assistance so that we can have enough student responses that will enable the student athlete leaders to plan an impactful bullying prevention campaign.

Thank you for providing 5 minutes of classroom time during the 2nd period class so that students can take the survey. The Friday announcements will have a brief video reminder and introduction, as well as the survey link.

If you’d like more information, here is the Athletes with Courage: Bullying Prevention Flyer

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@berkeley.net

Only four schools were invited to participate in this student-led leadership opportunity! 

One essential piece of the student-led effort is to survey all students. Athlete leaders will use the information to guide their planning and campaign. 

We need 2nd period class assistance so that we can have enough student responses that will enable the student athlete leaders to plan an impactful bullying prevention campaign.

Thank you for providing 5 minutes of classroom time during the 2nd period class so that students can take the survey. The Friday announcements will have a brief video reminder and introduction, as well as the survey link.

If you’d like more information, here is the Athletes with Courage: Bullying Prevention Flyer.

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@berkeley.net

Donate to the 2023 BHS Prom

Dear Berkeley High Parents and Guardians,

As the 2023 Junior & Senior Prom approaches on March 25th, we are requesting that families who have the means to donate do so to help us lower the price of tickets for all students. To cover the costs of prom, we may have to charge up to $80 for each regular ticket. This is a significant amount of money, especially when there are other costs associated with the event (formal attire, transportation, hotel rooms, etc). Senior Class Leadership has fundraised over $10,000 for the event and obtained a grant to lower the price of tickets to $40 for students that qualify for free or reduced lunch. Still, we are concerned that the cost of tickets is a barrier for many students who wish to participate.

Please help us make the 2023 Junior & Senior Prom an inclusive event that all BHS students can attend. 

In order to lower the ticket prices to a more reasonable $70, we are attempting to fundraise another $8,000. You can donate at this link through BHSDG. 

Donate to the 2023 BHS Prom 

Thank you from the Senior Class Leadership team!@bhs23niors on Instagram

​For more information about prom, graduation and other Class of 2023 activities, please review the Senior Letter.

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@berkeley.net
