Pattengill Traffic Pattern

Please review the Pattengill Traffic Pattern & Guidelines. This important information will help keep our Penguins safe, especially while our building is under construction.

Berkley Schools recognizes that each student's mode of dress is a representation of personal style and individual preference. We will not interfere with the right of students and their families to make decisions regarding their appearance, except when their choices interfere with the educational program of the schools.

Dress Code parameters are listed in the Student Code of Conduct.

The Student Code of Conduct was updated in 2026 by the Berkley Schools Administrative team along with input from students, teachers, and parents/guardians. The Code of Conduct is a Google Doc that is searchable, the table of contents is clickable, and it outlines the Berkley Schools new philosophy regarding student behavior and creating a safe school environment together.
