APC in Action
Finals Fuel – Volunteers & Snacks
Finals are just around the corner…..and that means FINALS FUEL is back! During finals week, the APC provides snacks for the students during brunch period. We need your help to refuel and recharge our Dons. Here are three ways to help:
- Purchase snacks from the Amazon Wish list found here. Items will be sent from Amazon directly to a residence for transport to AHS, no need to deliver anything.
- Don’t want to purchase via Amazon? No problem! Sign up to purchase snacks yourself from the SignUpGenius here, and you deliver to a private residence in Lafayette.
- Volunteer to hand out snacks on campus (Wednesday-Friday). Sign up for shifts here.
Still not sure what to do? Reach out to Regan with any questions: reganscovic@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Wellness Center
Our team had the privilege of serving 295 unique students with over 2400 visits to the Wellness Center this year! We couldn’t do this without the support of LPIE, our community partners and the broader Acalanes parent community. We want to wish everyone a restful summer break and best of luck to your class of 2026 graduates! If you are interested in any summer resources for wellness, including crisis support, community counseling, and connection, you can find them here. Be sure to spend some quality time with your AHS students this summer and encourage them to get 8 to 10 hours of sleep on a regular basis.
See you soon for the 2026-2027 school year!

Legislative News
Measure H for LAFSD
Measure H is on the June 2026 ballot. This local parcel tax would replace Measure L (expiring in 2027) and help close funding gaps caused by California’s school funding formula, which ranks Lafayette among the lowest-funded districts in the state.
Funds from Measure H would stay local and support maintaining small class sizes, attracting and retaining excellent teachers, and preserving core academic programs like math, science, reading, and the arts. The measure also includes independent oversight, annual audits, and a senior exemption.
