August Important Date:
August 26 – Women’s Equality Day
The Acalanes campus is a place of inclusivity and welcome for all. As we begin a new school year, the Community & Climate Committee invites students, parents, and staff to take small steps to help others feel a sense of belonging.
Student Challenge: Encourage your student to say “hello” to three students they’ve never met before. Ask them how it felt to connect with new peers—and imagine how meaningful it would be if someone welcomed you as you walked into work one morning.
Parent Challenge: Lead by example! At your next Acalanes event, say “hello” to two new parents and share your experience with us on social media.
Why August 26 Matters
Women’s Equality Day commemorates the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote and affirmed the importance of equal participation in democracy.
Together, small actions make our Acalanes community stronger, more welcoming, and more connected.
