Parent Club Members! Don’t forget to pick up your newly minted copy of the AHS School Directory at Back to School Night on Thursday, Aug 25!
 
We will pass out the 2022-2023 Directory in front of the main quad at 5pm before classroom visits begin. If you indicated you prefer an online version only, further directions will be provided this week on how to access.   

If you would like a directory and have yet to join the Parents Club, you can do so right here!  You can also bring a check made out to Acalanes Parents Club at BTSN.
Any amount is needed and greatly appreciated.  
 
The Parents Club has promised nearly $180,000 to Acalanes for this school year.  As of today, we have yet to reach that goal. We need your help!

Parents Club funds support programming for all Acalanes students and staff, including:

  • College & Career Services
  • Campus Enhancements
  • Peer Tutoring
  • Parent Ed
  • Staff & Teacher Development
  • Grants Program          
  • Communications
  • Volunteer opportunities and more… 

Another important source of funds is making your donations go twice as far with Corporate Matching. Please check if your company has a matching program and, if so, contact corpmatch@acalanesparentsclub.com for further information.
 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Parent’s Club Pro-Tip

If you are dropping off your student in the morning, save yourself the hassle and avoid pulling into the parking lot. There are multiple areas around Acalanes where you can safely drop your student and they can walk on to campus. You will not only provide relief to the parking lot traffic but to yourself and your student!

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)

Endangered animals, skiing, model UN, Jewish culture…we support the work of many of our student clubs! Every student belongs at Acalanes, and their interests help form meaningful connections on campus. Talk to your student about joining or starting a club. Bonus – clubs meet during the school day so students can work it into their schedules. Learn more here
 
Let’s Cheer!  ACA debuts first female football player.
 
As many of you may have recently seen, Acalanes has its first female football player on the JV team this year. Lucca DeBiasse and her teammates will help to kick off our Dons football season soon and as they do, we are reminded that football has the power to bring us together. Check out this inspiring trailer for “First Down”, a gripping short film on an underdog, all-girls, high school tackle football league that shows why girls also belong in pads and how players empower one another on and off the field. “We all have different backgrounds, but when we get on the field together we are all the same…we want to do big things and make this history.”

022-2023 Acalanes Student & Family Directory! The 2022-2023 REVISED DirectoryForm for submitting your family’s data for the 2022-2023 Student & Family Directory is now open! Don’t miss out.
 
APC is collecting data NOW in order to give our volunteers enough time to produce the directory in its traditional SPIRAL BOUND BOOKLET format in time for Back to School Night on August 25. (A non-paper version will be available for those who prefer an electronic format). The data collection process will no longer be part of the registration process, so we need your entries today! While participation is optional, the more families that participate, the more valuable a resource the directory is in connecting our families to their Acalanes community.
 
If you choose to be included, please take the time to fill out the 2022-2023 REVISEDDirectory Form this week. Please reach out to us directly here with any questions.
