RAISE YOUR HAND IF AT AGE 11 OR 12 YOU WERE ABLE TO SAY, “THANKS, PARENT, I WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE.”
IT SEEMS FUNNY...YET THAT’S WHAT MANY OF US DO AS PARENTS IN BERKELEY.
PARENT:
NOT JUST A NOUN.
ALSO A VERB.
PLEASE DO IT!

ALL ELECTRONICS MUST BE OFF ALL DAY. We cannot educate students who are distracted.
Please do YOUR part to ensure your child’s academic success. Please do not call or text your student during the day. School must be a priority if you want your student to be educated. Please help us! |
