Homecoming 2024: Musicals Sep 15-21
Hallway decorating is in 1 week (Sep 15) and we can feel the excitement on campus!
Check out this homecoming overview document for everything you need to know about the week – it is shaping up to be a great one!
Our annual canned food drive begins tomorrow – over the last two years, our community has come together in HUGE ways for the Contra Costa Food Bank. Students can donate cans or money in person before school or via online links:
Class of 2028
Class of 2027
Class of 2026
Class of 2025
Here a few highlights to make sure are in the calendar:
- Sep 15: Hallway decorating from 10am – 3pm. Students decorate with their grade and transform our halls. We have a HOCO Showcase for the community from 5-6pm so plan to stop by and see the magic!
- Sep 18: Student dodgeball at 7:30pm. A beloved student tradition and a very fun night. Make sure your student has their ID card. They can play or watch!
- Sep 19 at 5pm. Joint Latinx potluck with Campo & Acalanes before the girls volleyball game. Make a dish or just come and join!
- Sep 20 at 5:30pm. Pre-game tailgate prior to the Acalanes-College Park football game, along with a halftime show and powder toss.
Sep 21 is our HOCO Night Out from 7-9:30pm. It is a campus wide event (1,100+ attended last year) and is a beloved night not to miss. Tickets are on sale via GoFan and are:
$30 with ASB
$55 without ASB
$75 for an outside guest
Outside guests need to fill out and return a guest contract by Sep 18 to the main office. Stay tuned for confirmed vendors, food, games, activities, and entertainment.
In order to ensure that HOCO Night Out is safe for all, we need parent chaperones. Please consider volunteering as we expect over 1100 students that evening. We are in need of 17 more adults.
2024-2025 Clubs
Club meetings will begin this week after an awesome club day last week! Here are our 77 unique clubs on campus, from Archery Club to the Red Cross Club.
My goal is that every student at Acalanes is connected to one activity outside of class. I am always happy to meet with students and/or parents about on campus programming and opportunities. If I can help, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
