Message from your APC Co Presidents
JANUARY 12, 2025
Hello Acalanes parents and caregivers,
Mark your calendar for the Course Preview & Open House on Thursday, Jan 30. APC will host a reception at Acalanes from 5:30-6pm in the PAC lobby. There will be a family meeting at 5:45pm for incoming 9th grade parents and students as well. The drop-in and breakout sessions will run from 6:15-8pm. This event is a very effective way to learn about courses, pathways, and the vast opportunities that exist for students at Acalanes. Attendance is highly encouraged. Please read below for more information about the breakout sessions. Additionally, new course videos will be available to all students and families soon to help with course selections. Join us Friday, Jan 17 at 8:45am for our Dons Dialogue where we will review all resources and deadlines regarding 2025-26 Course Selection.
A special note to senior parents: simple expressions of gratitude go a long way! As college-bound seniors have submitted their college applications, remind your students to take a moment to say “thank you” to those who helped along the way. As you are well aware, the process has been lengthy and there is so much to celebrate at each milestone. Students should be encouraged to write a note of thanks to counselors and teachers who wrote letters of recommendation – a critical part of college admissions in the current landscape.
Go Dons!
Michele Colaco & Andrea Hilsabeck
