Join us on Sunday, Mar 8, for Acalanes’ annual Color Run! The event celebrates the Hindu holiday Holi, a festival celebrating the arrival of spring. Parents and children are invited to take part in a 1- or 2-mile run around the Acalanes campus while getting covered in colored powder. Before the run, stop by for Dunkin’ Donuts, snacks, games, and a raffle— all included in your ticket. It’s a great way to spend the morning with friends, celebrate our community, and support the Classes of 2027 & 2028. 💙
The first 150 people to sign up will get a free Color Run t-shirt, so grab your friends and register soon! Buy tickets HERE.
Career Fair is on Wednesday, Mar 11, from 10:10–11:05am, and we’re looking for parents and community members to share their career paths with students. We need 2–3 volunteers per field to chat with students at table stations, and all careers are welcome. To volunteer or recommend someone, please contact Debbie Levy at dlevy@auhdsdschools.org.

Graduation and Grad Night 2026: We’re looking for Junior parents to pay it forward by volunteering at graduation so our Senior parents can relax, soak it all in, and enjoy this special milestone.

Helpful tools, including the College List Guide, Application Checklist, and Junior Year Planning Calendar, are available to keep students on track.
