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

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.

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

Dorothy Day House Drive

Hi, we are the Women’s Student Union. We want to inform you all of a drive we are holding the week after winter break on Monday and Tuesday during lunch at the Civic Center grass. After those days we will leave our collection bags at the tile nine coordinator’s office, G202A.The drive will collect hygiene products such as shampoo bottles, lotions, soaps, and all that. I know you guys have so many small travel sized bottles of shampoos at home that you never use so bring them and we’ll take them. We are also collecting feminine hygiene products such as pads and tampons. We can’t wait to see everything you guys bring!

The Berkeley Community Scholars High Hopes program is a needs-based college success program designed to provide advising, mentorship, professional development, community support, and resources to motivated and talented college-bound seniors from Berkeley public high schools. Scholars also receive scholarship funds (the amount depends on their program) to assist with the costs of college. We prioritize students who are either living in the lowest economic quartile, who identify as a member of an underrepresented group on college campuses, or who are the first in their family to attend college.

The Bachelor’s Degree High Hopes Scholarship application is currently open and will close on March 9th at 11:59 pm.

Divest from Fossil Fuels

Did you know that CalSTRS, the California teacher pension (or retirement fund), has over $15 billion invested in fossil fuel companies? This means teachers’ money is being used to fund the fossil fuel industry. The fossil fuel industry is responsible for violating the rights of indigenous communities and causing disproportionate health and safety issues for low income and Black and brown communities. By investing in fossil fuels, CalSTRS is strengthening the fossil fuel industry rather than transitioning away from it, which worsens the future and present day impacts of the climate crisis! Additionally, taking money out of fossil fuels has been proven to stimulate growth for retirement returns since fossil fuels are rapidly depreciating. There’s only 1 solution: CalSTRS must stop investing in fossil fuels, so that our teachers’ retirement funds support climate solutions and not the declining oil and gas industry.

To address this issue, we are making a petition of BHS signatures to present to the CALSTRS board members. Everyone can make a difference by signing the petition and encouraging their friends and teachers to sign it too! Sign the petition for our futures!

Check out the infographic in the email bulletin and around the school for more info.

We are a group of students and teachers passionate about fossil fuel divestment supported by organizations like YVA, Fossil Free California, CTA Divest and more.

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`1

Peace At The Creek Short Film Releases October 1st

I bet you’ve never seen a film about salamanders, environmental activism, social justice themes, and growing up! Did I forget salamanders?

Don’t be alarmed; a group of Berkeley High School students has created a short movie that delves into the realm of all these criteria. When two boys’ favorite creek and beloved salamanders are threatened by construction, one reacts with aggression, and the other tries to fight with words. “Peace at the Creek” is the name.

This short film is sure to spark a hunger for environmental activism amongst students, and give Berkeley High school students hope that they can influence their surroundings and make a change in this world. Ultimately, having a positive influence on the culture and stewardship of Berkeley High School students! Especially when it comes to protecting the things we love. Like the environment or salamanders!
