AUGUST 16, 2026
We hope your seniors had a fantastic first week back at school and are settling into their final year at Acalanes!
Stay connected: Follow our Acalanes Class of 2027 Parent Instagram for the latest updates, reminders, event information, and important announcements throughout the year.
Senior BBQ and Car Painting is this afternoon at Acalanes: Please encourage your student to join in the fun from 4:00-6:00pm. Your students should wear their senior shirts and come hungry! Food, music and games plus a watermelon eating contest will be enjoyed by all. Car painting will take place in the parking lot during this time and pens will be provided. Please remind your students to be respectful with their painting as they are representing Acalanes.
Did your seniors miss their chance to purchase a Senior Shirt? Good news- the order window has reopened and will remain open until Saturday, Aug 22nd. Seniors wear the white ‘Senior’ shirt to events including rallies, senior barbeque, senior sunrise, and more! Purchased shirts will be distributed in early September. Order here.
** If your seniors were unable to pick their senior shirts at Dons Day, they can swing by room 314 any time to pick them up.
