District Disaster Preparedness
Link Posted on
From BUSD: The recent earthquake activity in the Napa and Vallejo areas has been a stark reminder of how important it is to be prepared. We want you to know that active teams of staff, parents, and volunteers in every Berkeley public school have worked to place emergency containers at every school, with essential supplies in the event of a disaster. Site emergency response teams have been trained in the use of these supplies, and safety plans are in place at every site.

Prevent the “Summer Slide”
Link Posted on Updated on
As summer approaches, we want to encourage the children to continue some academic work over the summer. According to a report released by the Rand Corporation in June 2011,
“Students can return to school in the fall at least a month behind, on average, where they were in the spring, but high-quality summer programs can help combat this summer learning loss.”
Below are articles from the KQED Blog “Mindshift” that provide some additional information and suggestions to prevent the “summer slide”:
