PTSA Workshop on How to Address Sexual Harassment & Harm
Our upcoming meeting is on Tuesday, October 19 from 7:00-8:30 pm via Zoom.
Sexual harassment and harm at Berkeley High are long-standing issues that have been making the news lately. At this meeting we will discuss sexual harassment and harm on and off campus and how BUSD is addressing it at the BHS and BUSD levels. Parent and student leaders will provide an update on recent developments, some perspectives on student experiences, and guidance on how to navigate the process at BUSD.
We look forward to your participation!

VAX UP JACKETS!
On Wednesday, October 6th, the BUSD Board of Education passed a new policy that will require all students who are 12 and older to either be vaccinated by January 3, 2022 or take a weekly COVID test. The full policy, approved unanimously by the Board, can be viewed here.
At Berkeley High School, an overwhelming majority of our students (and staff) are already fully vaccinated. For unvaccinated students who would be impacted by the recent Board decision, I met with the City of Berkeley soon after the Board meeting in order to schedule another Covid vaccination clinic that would make getting the vaccine easily accessible.
Covid Vaccine Clinic Details
Unvaccinated BHS students can receive the 1st dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine on Tuesday, October 19th from 11:00am – 6:00pm across the street from the Main Office of Berkeley High School (corner of Allston and Milvia). We’ve also already gone ahead and scheduled the 2nd dose appointment for Wednesday, November 10th from 10:00am – 5:00pm in the same location.
Students must receive BOTH doses of this vaccine in order to be considered fully vaccinated.
If students wish to receive their 1st dose vaccine on October 19th and 2nd dose vaccine on November 10th, they must bring the attached consent form signed by a parent/guardian only if they are under 18 years old.
To make an appointment for a Covid vaccine, please go here.
We encourage students that want to get vaccinated on October 19th and November 10th to do so during LUNCH TIME or AFTER SCHOOL.
Parents/Guardians might also receive phone calls after this email to answer any questions you may have, including more information about the vaccine.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
BHS students who have already received their 1st dose but missed their 2nd dose appointment can receive their 2nd dose at this clinic as well. Students will need to bring their vaccination card showing their 1st dose.
Modern Live Zine
We are Modern Love Zine, a new project at BHS. The zine is designed to give our community the opportunity to share, read, and reflect on love. We love seeing and expressing the adoration we have for the world and all of the things in it. Love is a universal, human feeling, one that is both broad and narrow — it means something else to every person. If you have even a slight idea of something you could talk about under the broad scope of love, reach out! We want to see the humanity around us — that humanity is stored within you.
We are looking for pieces of writing, though if you have other mediums in mind, feel free to email us at bhsmodernlove@gmail.com. Anyone in the school (both students and staff) is welcome to submit.

We love you!

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:
