Sign-up for EnewsGet the Principal's Messages and Weekly APC Enews in your email. Stay informed about what's going on at Acalanes. Enews Sign-up Acalanes Parents Club is under its funding goal! Issues with the district's online registration system lead to an unusually low number of APC donations. As the vast majority of our fundraising is linked to Dons Day registration, we are making an unusual plea. We have heard from parents who intended to give, that missed it at registration. If you are unsure whether you gave to APC, check your webstore receipt online or your printout. You can also look for your name on the Donor List. The recommended contribution is $200 per student. All donors who give $75 or more will receive a copy of the Student Directory/Parent Handbook at Back to School Night. Donate now via the webstore. Of course, a HUGE thank you to all who have donated - Acalanes is what it is because of our parent funded programs & initiatives.
