ACADEMY WITH A PURPOSE
Our students attend academy on Wednesday and Friday mornings from 10:10-11:05am. Students use TeachMore (an online platform) to select where they would like to go for academy or teachers can also tag a student to attend their academy for test make-ups or targeted support.
 
Ask your student(s) where they are going for academy each week and encourage them to make a good selection. These periods are a great time to get homework completed, work on group projects or participate in enrichment activities. Peer Tutoring is always a valuable option during the academy periods as well.

We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (Sep15 to Oct 15) to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success. The observation began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period. It was enacted into law on Aug 17, 1988. The theme for 2024 is “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” At Acalanes, the students in the Latinos Unidos Club are celebrating and educating with door decorations, fun lunchtime games and activities and are also bringing in a speaker to learn more about the real life experience of an immigrant from Mexico. If you want to support our students in these efforts you can sign up here.
