Faculty & Staff Directory
A Note About
Communication with Staff
Every child will have a Thursday folder containing a school newsletter and other important information. The folder goes home on Thursdays and comes back to school on Fridays. If you want to talk to your child’s teacher, send them an email, leave a message in the office, or put a note in the Thursday folder. Some teachers don’t mind pop-ins, but please be aware that the before-school time is sacred for preparing for the day—each teacher will explain to parents their own policy on how best to get in touch.
All Berkeley Unified School District email addresses use the format firstlast@berkeley.net.
