Neurodiversity Celebration Week
Did you know this week, March 13th through 19th, is Neurodiversity Celebration Week? Around 15-20% of people are neurodiverse, which means over 600 students at Berkeley High have a place they can feel like they belong every Friday at lunch, in D218! Even if you don’t identify with a particular neurodiversity, come by for a place to connect with peers and learn more about each other. Keep an eye out for posters around the halls this week, and if you want to follow us on Instagram, it’s @BHSNeurodiversity.
Do you love playing soccer?
Albany Berkeley Soccer Club needs more players for a recreational team this Spring. Several Berkeley High students are already on the team, and we hope you’ll join us. If you continue in the Fall, you can get a P.E. waiver for the Fall semester. Scholarships are available.

Want to play sports in College?
Want to play sports in College but don’t know how to get recruited? How should you be preparing as a freshman or sophomore? When do athletes really commit to a program? How do I know if I am DI material? How does DIII recruiting differ?
Join us for a highly informational discussion hosted by the Berkeley Athletic Fund on Monday March 27th , 2023 at 7 pm in the BHS Library. All student athletes and parents are welcome.
Jennifer “”JT”” Thomas will be presenting on student athletes and the college process. As a former college soccer coach at CAL and college counselor, JT will provide insights into the recruiting process for all divisions of intercollegiate athletics. JT’s experience as a college soccer player, commentator for the Women’s Professional Soccer league, high school athletic director and current U19 competitive soccer coach gives her a unique perspective on both sides of the student athlete college search. She is also a parent in the process! Find out more about JT at https://www.jtcollegeconsultant.com

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
