Message from your APC President

MAY 3, 2026

As the busy month of May begins, it’s a good reminder to pause and take a breath as we approach the end-of-school milestone. No matter what year your student is completing, this time of year is always exciting and a bit chaotic. For those with a graduating senior, we celebrate with you all the accomplishments and milestone events that make May so special. It’s a meaningful time that marks the end of an important journey and the beginning of a new chapter.

This week, we celebrate our teachers and staff! We are incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented team at Acalanes. The Parents Club will be showing our appreciation by providing donuts on Monday and lunch on Friday to all of our 100+ staff members. Please join us in thanking a teacher and/or staff member this week—a simple email or handwritten note goes a long way in showing our appreciation for all that they do.

A special thank you to Stacey Hastings and Dominique Mickelson for their three years of service as Staff Appreciation Chairs—we truly appreciate you!

If you have an incoming freshman next year, be sure to attend Acalanes Athletics & Activities Night on Wednesday, May 6 at 5:00pm in the gym. For more information, please read below.

Acalanes Community Always,
💙 Jocelyn Birrell
