Course request confirmation letters
Course request confirmation letters were recently mailed to all students for the 2020-2021 school year. Please review course selections with your student for accuracy. Acalanes faculty is currently building class schedules based on this information. Keep in mind that the school works hard to accommodate preferred schedules, but can make no guarantees. Final course schedules are distributed at Dons Day in August.
Membership & Fundraising
Looking for a unique graduation gift? Give a Legacy Brick and help leave a lasting impression on the Dons Legacy Wall! Families can pay tribute to your upcoming graduate, past graduates, a favorite teacher, or anyone who has contributed to your time at Acalanes. You can even dedicate a brick to your AHS sports team, performance group or favorite club. To order your personalized brick before the May 1 deadline, make your $250 tax deductible donation to Acalanes Parents Club on the AHS Web Store.

Take the same steps you would take to stay healthy during cold and flu season.
- Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds, particularly after coughing or sneezing. If you don’t have access to running water, use an alcohol-based hand cleanser.
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Stay away from people who are sick.
- Don’t share makeup, food, dishes or eating utensils.
- Wearing a surgical mask will not protect you from getting sick.
