  • Co-Presidents’ Message

    October 13, 2019

    Just a reminder that Monday, October 14, is a Staff Development Day so there will be no school tomorrow. It’s hard to believe the first quarter of the school year has already come and gone. There is a tremendous amount of activity on campus this month with fall sports and performing arts’ events in full swing. We anticipate a tremendous amount of excitement next week too, as Acalanes welcomes the highly-regarded United States Marine Band for a concert on Wednesday. Finally, don’t forget to wear lavender to Friday night’s football game against Campo. Go Dons!

    We are looking forward to the upcoming APC Dons Dialogue with Principal Bell on Friday. The agenda is jam-packed with some terrific information so it’s one you won’t want to miss. You’ll find more details in our APC in Action section below. Hope to see you on Friday.
