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!

Check out the short film and plenty of behind-the-scenes content on Instagram:

Grief Group Needs Student Input!

Berkeley High has recognized a need for grief support services and is working to create a grief group that meets once a week for the entire school year.

This survey is anonymous, but if you would like to leave your name and email to be contacted by a counselor with questions or anything else, please do so. Also, don’t forget you can sign up for mental health appointments in the Health Center using this link.

Cursive Club

Would you like to be able to write an awesome letter in cursive and be able to find old love letters your grandparents wrote to each other and actually be able to read them?

Then you may be interested in learning Cursive ,or handwriting, as it’s also called. Cursive is cool looking, takes a lot of practice and patience and is relaxing too. Plus, you can actually start understanding those comments your teacher writes on your essay. Or study old documents in college.

Cursive rules! If it was good enough for the Declaration of Independence, it’s good enough to give it a shot!

Come learn and practice Cursive even if you have zero experience, which is probably the case since they stopped teaching it in school ages ago. Practice cursive in Portable 3 every Thursday starting Sep. 29th 3:45 to 4:20

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.ne

BCC/BHS Dual Enrolled Club

This club was created by high school students for high school students in order to create a safe, supportive environment for those who are taking classes at BCC through dual enrollment. The club has meetings every two weeks at BCC from 4-5:30 so that students can interact with others who are also taking dual enrollment classes. We know that navigating classes at BCC, using Canvas, and being in a college setting for the first time can be stressful, so this club is meant to be a supportive environment for students going through the process. 

Students don’t even have to be dually enrolled yet, we can help with the application process as well if anyone is interested in taking classes at BCC but don’t know how to start.

We would like to encourage any high school students at BHS to join. I am attaching a flyer that was created for the club. Students can join the discord server if interested, and if they have questions they can reach out to Lale (founder): lalekurtulush@gmail.com or Reem: reemmahmoud@students.berkeley.net

*Note that this club is not a Berkeley High club, it is a BCC club and meets at Berkeley City College*

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

Grief Group Needs Student Input!

Berkeley High has recognized a need for grief support services and is working to create a grief group that meets once a week for the entire school year. This group is intended to create a space where students can connect with other students as well as a mental health professional who can support grieving the loss of loved ones.  We are in the process of figuring out the time and day, but need your help to determine when would be the best time.

If you are interested in joining a Grief Group at Berkeley High School, please fill out this survey to indicate when you are most available. Thank you.

This survey is anonymous, but if you would like to leave your name and email to be contacted by a counselor with questions or anything else, please do so. Also, don’t forget you can sign up for mental health appointments in the Health Center using this link.

Cursive Club

Would you like to be able to write an awesome letter in cursive and be able to find old love letters your grandparents wrote to each other and actually be able to read them?

Then you may be interested in learning Cursive ,or handwriting, as it’s also called. Cursive is cool looking, takes a lot of practice and patience and is relaxing too. Plus, you can actually start understanding those comments your teacher writes on your essay. Or study old documents in college.

Cursive rules! If it was good enough for the Declaration of Independence, it’s good enough to give it a shot!

Come learn and practice Cursive even if you have zero experience, which is probably the case since they stopped teaching it in school ages ago. Practice cursive in Portable 3 every Thursday starting Sep. 29th 3:45 to 4:20

BCC/BHS Dual Enrolled Club

This club was created by high school students for high school students in order to create a safe, supportive environment for those who are taking classes at BCC through dual enrollment. The club has meetings every two weeks at BCC from 4-5:30 so that students can interact with others who are also taking dual enrollment classes. We know that navigating classes at BCC, using Canvas, and being in a college setting for the first time can be stressful, so this club is meant to be a supportive environment for students going through the process. 

Students don’t even have to be dually enrolled yet, we can help with the application process as well if anyone is interested in taking classes at BCC but don’t know how to start.

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

A Message about Attendance

In an effort to create a responsive consequence  to hold students to high expectations for attendance, we have a new version of Detention called “Attendance Intervention Program” which basically means that students on the “Detention” list are required to attend tutorial sessions to clear their unexcused absences.  There is a menu of options to meet your needs – choose one or many. 

How do I know if I have detention?

Look at your Infinite Campus attendance record and ask yourself:

1. Do you have 3 or more unexcused absences?
2. Do you have a LAT on your record?
3. Do you have a CUT on your record?
4. Do you have more than 20 tardies?

If so, you are assigned to Detention, now known as AIP.

What do you need to do?

Attend a tutorial session from one of the choices here or set up your own session. Once you attend, they will email attendanceoffice@berkeley.net and you will see the code MAK on your record – which means you have completed your end of the deal. 

Black Scholars M110 every Tuesday & Thursday 3:30-5 with Ms. Lee, Mr. Pritchard and Dr. W CCC Tutorials  Monday-Thursdays 3:30-6:00 email matthewlaurel@berkeley.net for more questions Individual 1-1 tutorials with a teacher or group Please make sure you sign in/out of your tutorials. For 1-1 tutorials, have your teacher email attendanceoffice@berkeley.net to confirm you completed the session

Do you think there is an error? 

Do the following: 

1. If it is excusable by your guardian – have them email attendanceoffice@berkeley.net
2. If you think it was a teacher error – email the teacher
3. If you think it was an athletic event error – email your coach 

What happens if I ignore this and don’t attend?

• Students who do not follow through will be assigned to Saturday School from 9am-12pm on Saturday, October 1st in the M Building
• If it’s after 10/1, you will be placed on the no-go list for schoolwide events like games, homecoming, prom and work permits

Free & Reduced Meals Verification 

Families should complete an EZ Meal App in order to receive benefits under the free & reduced lunch program. If determined to qualify, students can receive discounts to school events (prom, graduation, etc.) among other testing discounts if they have completed forms on file with B.U.S.D. Once determined to qualify for free & reduced meals, Nutrition Services will send a paper copy of the eligibility letter to the home mailing address. To receive the discount, this paper copy or digital photo of the eligibility letter will be shown to school officials overseeing the school event. Families can also request an eligibility letter if they completed the Alternative Income Form at registration. 

If a household needs another letter they should contact Sara Leon either through saraleon@berkeley.net or nutritionservices@berkeley.net. This information is protected by right to privacy so we are not able to provide this information to minors or someone other than the head of household. Requests can be made by phone 510.644.6200 or through email, or by US mail 2020 Bonar Street, Suite 1, Berkeley CA, 94702. Nutrition Services require up to three days to process their request as these do not tend to come in one at a time.

A Message about Attendance

In an effort to create a responsive consequence  to hold students to high expectations for attendance, we have a new version of Detention called “Attendance Intervention Program” which basically means that students on the “Detention” list are required to attend tutorial sessions to clear their unexcused absences.  There is a menu of options to meet your needs – choose one or many. 

How do I know if I have detention?

Look at your Infinite Campus attendance record and ask yourself:

1. Do you have 3 or more unexcused absences?
2. Do you have a LAT on your record?
3. Do you have a CUT on your record?
4. Do you have more than 20 tardies?

If so, you are assigned to Detention, now known as AIP.

What do you need to do?

Attend a tutorial session from one of the choices here or set up your own session. Once you attend, they will email attendanceoffice@berkeley.net and you will see the code MAK on your record – which means you have completed your end of the deal. 

Black Scholars M110 every Tuesday & Thursday 3:30-5 with Ms. Lee, Mr. Pritchard and Dr. W CCC Tutorials  Monday-Thursdays 3:30-6:00 email matthewlaurel@berkeley.net for more questions Individual 1-1 tutorials with a teacher or group Please make sure you sign in/out of your tutorials. For 1-1 tutorials, have your teacher email attendanceoffice@berkeley.net to confirm you completed the session

Do you think there is an error? 

Do the following: 

1. If it is excusable by your guardian – have them email attendanceoffice@berkeley.net
2. If you think it was a teacher error – email the teacher
3. If you think it was an athletic event error – email your coach 

What happens if I ignore this and don’t attend?

• Students who do not follow through will be assigned to Saturday School from 9am-12pm on Saturday, October 1st in the M Building
• If it’s after 10/1, you will be placed on the no-go list for schoolwide events like games, homecoming, prom and work permits

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 T UPDAservices, 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

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.
