Staying in touch with student activities
Our goal at Acalanes is that every student is connected to at least one adult and one activity outside of school. If I can support you in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out! There are multiple ways in which we push information out to both students and parents:
- Monday morning announcements
- Daily Bulletin
- APC Newsletter
- On campus publicity: posters, weekly flush, bulletin boards, canvas & more
- Instagram (@ahs_dons)
Let’s have a great year, Acalanes!
