Protections for Immigrant Families

We want you to know that we are committed to protecting the right of every student to attend public school, regardless of immigration status of the student or of the student’s family members.

Sponsor the Bar at Havana Nights!

The PTA is not allowed to spend funds on alcohol, so we are looking for parent donations to fund liberal libations. Your contributions help us generate more money for the school and ensure that there will be tasty cocktails, beer and wine on hand to enhance the evening's fun.

Volunteer for Havana Nights!

So instead of thinking about the outfit that you want to wear for the upcoming Havana Nights Auction/Dance Party, you might want to think about how good you will look taking on a volunteer shift or three. Seriously, though, we still have lots of open volunteer slots available.

A Message from the Principal

As many of you know, this is the Year of the Reader in Berkeley! A wonderful part of our program is the home reading component.
