General Announcements

Acalanes has partnered with Campolindo, Miramonte and Los Lomas to support our neighbors in need. Starting Monday, April 20, Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano Counties will place bins at all AUHSD campuses to collect canned food and nonperishable items. Please follow county Shelter in Place guidelines should you choose to contribute. They are also in urgent need of monetary donations which you can do online here. 

• More Students Needed for Zoom Babysitting. We could use a few more students (or parents!) to help babysit our teachers’ little Dons so we don’t have to turn parent teachers away. Encourage your student to earn volunteer hours and make a young kid’s day! Sign up here.
• Student Video Library Students can also make 15 to 60-minute videos highlighting any skill they’d like to share with little Dons. Visit our APC web page to learn more. Let’s do this!

We invite everyone to write letters to seniors wishing them well as they get ready to graduate. See the Seniors section for details on how you can participate.

All incoming freshmen (current 8th graders) are invited to attend the webinar which will provide an overview of how new students can get involved at Acalanes. Incoming students will have a chance to connect with coaches from all fall, winter and spring sports, and learn about campus clubs and more. A letter from Principal Bell to incoming freshmen with details will go out next week. 

Families: please remind your student to check both School Loop and their AUHSD gmail accounts for communications from their teachers. Teachers are finding that students who only look at the assignments portion of School Loop may be missing out on critical information.

Two school sites in our District, Las Lomas High School and Campolindo High School, will be providing food to all community members Monday through Friday from 11am to 1pm.  Meals can be picked up at the cafeteria windows. 

The goal of the program is to recognize students for their efforts in giving back. Get ideas on how you can give back during Shelter in Place and see our AHS program qualification changes here including a reduction of required hours from 30 hours to 20 hours.
