Message from your Associate Principals

AUGUST 17, 2025

Welcome back Acalanes! We are glad you are here!

We hope the school year is off to a great start for you and your students! We are so excited to be at Acalanes and look forward to working with our exceptional students, staff, and community this year.

Thank you to everyone who made Dons Day a success. We are grateful for our incredible parent community and the support of the Acalanes Parents Club. Your volunteer efforts and dedication created a wonderful welcome-back event for our students.
We would like to give a special acknowledgment to Ashley Matter, Ali Krick, Amber Harley, Jessica Phillips and Jill Sammons for their leadership in organizing and managing this fantastic event. The day was a testament to our strong community spirit.

Please mark your calendars for our Back to School Night. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, Aug 28. More details to follow!

Thank you for the incredibly warm welcome we’ve received in this fantastic community! We’re so elated to partner with all of you in support of our students. It was a joy getting into classrooms to introduce ourselves to all of our students and participating in our first school rally last week.

We are having a blast so far and can’t wait to meet more of our ACA community.

Your Associate Principals,
Neku Pogue and Colin Malcolm
