Message from your APC President

JANUARY 4, 2026

Happy New Year, Acalanes families, and welcome back! I hope the winter break brought moments of rest and connection. As we begin 2026, may this semester bring continued learning, growth, and community at Acalanes.

Please save the date for our January Dons Dialogue on Friday, January 23 at 8:45am. We’ll continue our program spotlight series featuring VAPA, World Language, and Leadership, offering a valuable opportunity to hear directly from Acalanes teachers and learn more about course offerings and academic pathways.

A special note to our Class of 2026 seniors and their families: with just five months remaining at Acalanes, this season is both exciting and bittersweet. I hope you take time to savor these final moments and celebrate all that lies ahead.

Wishing our entire community a happy, healthy, and fulfilling 2026.
💙Jocelyn Birrell
