Message from your APC President

FEBRUARY 1, 2026

Dear Acalanes Families,

It was wonderful to see so many current and incoming students and their families attend the Course Preview Open House on Thursday. I applaud the students who are purposefully engaged in their education at Acalanes!

Thank you to our hospitality chairs, Mia Heglie and Monica Stassi, for providing delightful charcuterie cups and beverages to sustain the attendees. The energy of the evening — with students, clubs, organizations, and administrators all coming together — was the perfect way to welcome our incoming Acalanes families.

Course selection is underway! Please remind your students to check their selection form for their appointment time with their counselor. Students should enter their course selections into Aeries BEFORE they meet with their counselors. Students will come to the appointment with their courses submitted and with a completed and signed form in hand to give to their counselor. If you have any questions or need any further information, please visit the counseling page on the Acalanes website.

As always – Go Dons!

💙Jocelyn Birrell
