Lafayette Gifts for Mom!
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10, and Lafayette retailers have put together some great gift ideas to purchase for Mom. You can check out a selection of gifts from local businesses on the Lafayette Chamber’s website here.

AHS Leadership Spurs Appreciation to our Local Grocery Stores
Our local grocery stores, including Diablo Foods, Safeway, Trader Joes and Whole Foods, are going out of their way to support our community by creating safe spaces to shop. These workers are putting their own health and safety on the line so that we can feed our families. AHS Leadership is spearheading an effort to “thank a grocery worker” wherever you shop by dropping off a handwritten note of thanks.

If your student is looking to take a college course for enrichment purposes, it could be a good opportunity. Students need to apply to DVC online ahead of time. Check back with DVC after May 4 for a paperless concurrent enrollment process.
Transcripts Students can still request official transcripts on the webstore. Our registrar is processing requests regularly. Unofficial transcripts can be requested from our registrar or a counselor.
