    Happy 2023 and Welcome Back to School!
    I hope everyone had a nourishing and restful winter break. Please test for Covid before returning to school on Wednesday. If your student is Covid+ or has another illness, please keep them home and inform the attendance office on the absence recorder (x7973).
     
    Did you get your Bivalent Covid Vaccine?
    Update your digital record here. It’s easy to schedule at your local pharmacy if you still need yours.
     
    Here’s a great website on SLEEP.
     
    Start the new year off right by starting the day strong - make time for breakfast!
    Ask your student what kind of food they want in the morning before school.  If they sleep until the last minute, talk about what portable healthy food you can make available for them to grab on their way to school:

    • Cereal, instant oatmeal
    • Green smoothie
    • Breakfast burrito
    • Fruit (fresh and dried)
    • Nuts
    • PB&J
    • Healthy muffins

    December 11, 2022

    FINALS SCHEDULE: May 23 - 26
    Parents take note of this week’s finals schedule. Tomorrow is a regular, see-all Monday and Finals start Tuesday. A great way to help support our students during finals is to help out with Finals Fuel (see below).


    During Finals, Peer Tutoring will be open Tuesday-Thursday from 12:50-2:50pm. The Library will be open from 7:30am to 3:00pm Tuesday & Thursday and from 7:30am to 1:00pm Wednesday & Friday. 
     
    IMPORTANT INFO FOR ALL SENIOR FAMILIES
    Here is all the information senior families need to know to close out the year.

    1. Senior Wrap-Up & To-Do List - print this off and use the to-do list as you wrap up senior year.
    2. Senior Graduation Information - anything and everything senior families need to know for graduation and all leading up to it.
    3. Graduation field map for families - please share this with your family and friends that will be attending graduation. Remind your students to let all family members know which side of the stadium they will be sitting in (they find out at rehearsal) so you can have a better view of  your senior walking the stage.
    4. AHS Senior Survey - seniors need to take a few minutes to fill out your final AHS survey.

    Congratulations Class of 2023!

    AP Exam Proctors Needed - Great Volunteer Opportunity
    Our AP Students need YOUR help! We are searching for parents to help with proctoring AP Exams the first two weeks of May 2023. Exam dates are May 1-5 and May 8-12.
     
    Exams start everyday at either 8am or 12pm. Students know to show up 30 minutes prior to start time for check in. Proctors for morning exams would be needed starting at 7:15am and afternoon exams starting at 11:15am. Exams can range from 2-4 hours and we ask that you please plan to stay for the longest amount of time possible. Restrictions: Parents, you are NOT allowed to proctor an exam that your own child is taking.
     
    If you are interested in learning more about proctoring AP exams, please contact the Acalanes Testing Coordinator, Nicole Singleterry at nsingleterry@auhsdschools.org

  • Parents Club Pro-Tip

    December 11, 2022

    This Pro-Tip comes from AHS Student Leaders. Parents may want to encourage your student to visit the RogerHub website to utilize their Final Grade Calculator. Some students find it helpful to calculate what score they need to achieve on their final exam in order to get the semester grade they desire in the class.
