  • Counseling

    June 3, 2024

    Counselor assignments are by last name:
    A-Em Anne Schonauer  
    En-Kr Erika Vasquez
    Ku-Rog Marissa Meadows 
    Roh-Z Susan Martin

    Alpha Change for the Fall: With the decrease in counseling services voted on by the board recently, our alpha will be redistributed in the fall. Erika Vasquez will reduce her caseload here, and Anne, Marissa and Susan will absorb about 140 of her students.  Erika will be at AHS on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays next year, and Tuesdays and Fridays at Miramonte. She will be accessible by email, virtual meetings, and phone (just two different numbers). 
     
    Summer School: Summer School begins Tuesday, Jun 11 and ends on Friday, Jul 12. Please check here for more information. Any required classes with grades of D/F may be repeated in summer school for a better grade.
     
    Counselors will return to work at the beginning of August - have a wonderful summer! Congratulations to the Class of 2024!

    HAPPY SUMMER DONS AND GRADUATES!
    Many students and families go to visit college campuses over the summer. If you are visiting or taking your students to start school, make sure to actually visit the Student Health Center. This valuable resource center offers more services than most people are aware of, including, but not limited to, physical AND mental health services. Many offer wellness programs, classes and workshops, as well as supplies and resources. Especially if it’s your student’s first time away from home, it’s important for them to feel empowered about how and where they can go for support when they’re not feeling well. 
    It’s also a good idea to create a mini first aid kit for new dorm students and it’s a great way to create a dialogue on some important issues.
     
    For new and returning Acalanes students, we need NEW medical forms for each school year. Get them filled out at the doctor’s office this summer and turn in to me at the start of school in August. Check out this QR code for the various forms your student might need:
     

    See my website for more information.

  • Wellness Center

    June 3, 2024

    The Wellness team hopes everyone has a restorative and restful summer break. This year we had the privilege of serving over 200 hundred unique students with over 2150 visits. We love supporting students and look forward to doing the same next year! Below is a list of summer resources for those seeking connection or mental health support while we are away from school. Friendly reminder, Wellness team emails will be closed over the summer and we will not see any referrals until we return to school in August.

    It’s sad to see our seniors go but we’re so proud of the work they’ve put in to move on to bigger and better things. Congrats to them and we look forward to seeing returning students and incoming freshmen for the 24-25 school year! Cheers to a great summer!
