SEPTEMBER 6, 2026
The parent party is only FIVE DAYS away and we’d love to see you there! And our first snack shack is this week so please consider helping out!
Class of 2028 Parent Party, THIS Thursday, Sept 10. It’s almost here and this party is going to be a fun one! More than 60 parents are already signed up. RSVP at this link. And if you want to play in the tournament, don’t forget there’s a separate sign up for that after you RSVP. We hope to see you there!
Snack Shack Volunteers Needed THIS Friday, Sept 11! All classes share Snack Shack duties this Friday and we could use some help. Please sign up here. It’s always a fun time and a great way to meet other parents. And, despite California’s updated volunteer security requirements, volunteers providing limited service (such as Snack Shack duty) will simply need to wear a volunteer name tag, which we will provide in the Snack Shack.
HoCo Decor and Work Party Help. The junior theme is Las Vegas Boulevard and we’re so excited to support the students as they work on their hallway and skits! Please sign up here to donate/lend decor or to donate funds for snacks for the work parties. And please encourage your students to attend the HoCo work parties!

PSAT Registration and Volunteers Needed. AHS will host a school-day PSAT/SAT on Monday, Oct. 5. The price per exam is $30 for PSAT and $60 for SAT. The webstore is open to receive payment and will close on Friday, Sept 18. Your webstore receipt is your confirmation of your registration. Adults are also needed to proctor the exams (volunteer or $25/hr) with the only restriction that you can’t proctor your own student’s exam. If you have any questions or would like to help proctor, please contact our Testing Coordinator, Jamielle McDonald by email jmcdonald@auhsdschools.org.
AP Exam Registration and Payment. Payment for AP Exams is now available on the Webstore. Make sure you purchase your exam(s) before Friday, Nov, 6. Please note that registration is a two-step process. Students must first add their Join Code onto the College Board Website BEFORE purchasing the exam off the Webstore. If you want to take an exam but aren’t currently enrolled in the Course at Acalanes, please see Jamielle McDonald jmcdonald@auhsdschools.org for an Exam Only Join Code. This must be done before purchasing the Exam off the Webstore.
California Scholarship Federation Applications. CSF is an honor society for high school students and current juniors and seniors should apply this month. Students who are members for at least 4 semesters during high school get a gold sash to wear at graduation and it’s an award to put on college applications. Students need to re-apply every semester. Please read the application carefully for eligibility requirements and instructions. The deadline is September 30.
Junior Prom Parent Chair Needed. We are looking for 1–2 parents to help and shadow the Senior Parent Chair for the Junior/Senior Prom this year, and then take over the lead role next year. This is a fun position for a great event, and the prom planning process is a well-oiled machine, so it should be very low stress! Please reach out to class2028@acalanesparentsclub.com or directly to any of our Junior Liaisons if you’re interested in learning more.
Class Activity Fund. If you haven’t yet, please consider contributing to our Class of 2028 Activity Fund here. All proceeds go toward Junior Class social events and Class of 2028 senior activities.
