Hello Fellow Yellow Jackets! I hope this post finds you well. I’m Lyndon Ward, a BIHS senior and Berkeley High’s 2020-2021 Chief of Clubs. Thank you all for being the student leaders that bring together and help shape Berkeley High’s communities. Clubs, now more than ever, represent an essential part of student life at Berkeley High for they provide space for expression, passion, ideas, and hobbies. Given that this year will be virtual, it is important to find new ways to stay connected to each other. With that being said an important part of connection is outreach and what better way to reach out then a club fair!
This year’s Fall Semester club fair will be held virtually and have a few key differences: The focus days of the week will be as follows:
Given that the club fair will be hosted over a week, clubs will have the chance to host club panels. These club panels will be held by the clubs that fit under the day’s “focus”. Following an introduction from the clubs at the beginning of the panel, each club will move to breakout rooms where they can interact more personally with the students attending.

Monday, September 21st, is Zero Emissions DayReduce Your Carbon Footprint My name is Zoe and I’m the Berkeley High Commissioner of Environmental Sustainability. Next Monday, September 21st, is Zero Emissions Day: a global, 24-hour break from the use of fossil fuels. The guidelines are simple: don’t use or burn oil, gas, or coal, and minimize or eliminate your use of electricity generated by fossil fuels. As the holiday approaches, we’ll be sharing some ways you can reduce your carbon footprint on the BHS leadership Instagram account (@juicethejackets). Finally, on Zero Emissions Day we’ll be having a “Bike Berkeley” event, with suggested routes to explore our city on two wheels. Stay tuned, and stay sustainable!

We are a club dedicated to helping the community reduce waste in easy, cheap, sustainable ways. We will do a variety of fun activities, projects, and presentations throughout the school year. Meetings are on Fridays from 4:00 – 5:00 PM. Contact us at bhszerowaste@gmail.com for the zoom link or DM us on Instagram @bhszerowaste. We hope to see you there next Friday, September 18!

9th Grade Mentorship Survey The freshman mentorship program at BHS is meant to extend the existing Link Leaders program in order to reinforce class unity and provide support to incoming freshmen throughout shelter-in-place. 9th Grade Mentorship Survey – Take 2 Minutes! Thank you!!!!! Freshmen who enroll will be put in pairs or groups with other students in their Hive and partnered with upperclassmen mentors who can answer questions, offer advice, or just be people to talk to in a less structured environment. It will be low impact and low commitment (once a week at lunch, then it would taper off over time).
UC Berkeley Offers Growth & Mentorship to BHS Students We are living through rapid, multidimensional change. We are talking about climate change, increasing global inequality, the fate of our democracy, Black Lives Matter, free higher education, universal health care, gender disparities, and to top it off, we are living through a global pandemic. Who is at the nexus of it all? YOU. Young people are taking on these challenges and spearheading movements around the world. Members of UC Berkeley would like to help. UC Berkeley is piloting a weekly panel series (via Zoom) exclusively to Berkeley High, starting on September 23rd. The panels will feature presentations from graduate students, faculty, and researchers on current social issues: the environment, poverty, democracy, race, education, health, gender, and the covid recession. Presenters will speak about their personal interest on these issues and how they are grappling with them in their work. Then they’ll answer your questions, and hear your thoughts. And they’d like to help you forge your own path! The schedule will look like this across the 8 week panel series: September 23rd: EnvironmentSeptember 30th: Poverty/InequalityOctober 7th: DemocracyOctober 14th: RaceOctober 21st: EducationOctober 28th: HealthNovember 4th: GenderNovember 11th: COVID-19 recession

Apply to be a poll worker! Will you be 16 by the November elections? Do you want to find a way to make sure every vote gets counted? Apply to be a poll worker! Even though California will be mainly voting by mail in November, some polling stations are required to stay open. If there aren’t enough people to work the polls, some will be forced to close. If this happens, it will be much more difficult for people who are relying on in-person voting. They would potentially have to rush to a polling station far away- and if they can’t make it in time, their vote may never be counted. With many older people who usually serve as poll workers are choosing to stay home this year due to COVID-19, there is a shortage of poll workers. This election, we need to show up. If we can’t vote, we need to make sure that those who are able to vote do. Sign up at www.pollhero.org and a high school or college student volunteer will connect you with Alameda county’s election official. Follow @pollheroproject

Hey folks. How good are you at creating Tik Tok videos? Do you have art or music skills? Are you looking for something to do that will break up the monotony and give you something to get juiced about? HERO might be the peer group for you. If you or someone you know has been harmed by drugs, if you’re interested in learning and teaching factual information to keep drug users safe, or you believe that education and support is preferable to stigma and punishment, then HERO might be your cup of tea. We need people of all backgrounds and viewpoints because drugs affect all of us in different ways. You can be as involved as deeply as you want, from class presentations, to making art, to brainstorming ideas to reach the masses. The point is to make this yours, make it relevant, and make it fun. But it can’t happen without you!

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
