In our continuing effort to tighten up our campus security, all visitors arriving to Acalanes need to come directly to the attendance office to sign into our visitor’s log and pick up a white visitors sticker. This includes all frequent visitors as well as parents with or without an appointment. If you are visiting any of the following offices: counseling office, principal’s office, college and career center, classrooms, and parents who are attending IEP or 504 meetings, our staff will be looking for your white badges to indicate you’ve checked in.
