Halloween week on campus, and Thursday is ours: the Class of 2030 bake sale at the last freshman home football game of the season, against Campo.
Friday is the school's Halloween, with trunk or treat on the blacktop at lunch. Costumes are welcome as long as they stay PG: the principal asks for dress code, no full-face masks, no props or fake weapons, nothing graphic, and nothing that mocks or stereotypes a group. Also this week: staff-student pickleball Monday and Wednesday at lunch on the tennis courts, the fall blood drive Tuesday 8am to 2pm (still about 20 donors short, and parents can give: book a time with the Red Cross), and the Spooky Send Off relay Wednesday at lunch in the Big Gym, where the winner takes home a Boo Basket. And a thank-you: September's canned food drive set a school record, more than 76,000 meals for the Contra Costa Food Bank, and every can from a 2030 family is in that number.
Every team and level is on MaxPreps, and home games stream free on Hudl TV. Ticketed home games are on GoFan only: no cash at the gate, a $1 fee, and students with an ASB card enter their student body number as the promo code for a free ticket. Questions about tickets go to Mr. Takahashi, rtakahashi@auhsdschools.org. Sources: the principal’s ParentSquare message of October 26 and the Parents Club sports post of October 25.

The stuff that doesn't change weekly. Open what you need.
California added rules for school volunteers this year (SB 848), and the short version is friendlier than the rumor mill. One-off help, like a snack-shack shift, takes no paperwork at all. You check in, you get a badge, that's it. APC said it themselves in the September 13 newsletter: standalone opportunities on campus, football and snack shack included, do not require the district's new training.
Extra steps apply to two groups. Ongoing volunteers need fingerprinting, a TB risk assessment, and a short online training. Drivers add a transportation form with license and insurance to Jamielle McDonald, jmcdonald@auhsdschools.org. Forms live on the Athletic Clearances page.
One thing to calendar: the online mandated-reporter training (Keenan) has to be renewed every year, while fingerprints and the TB assessment are one time only. Everything uploads through the district’s volunteer clearance portal. Both of the one-time steps got easier in late August. Fingerprints are now booked online, twenty-minute slots at the District Office. Free TB risk assessments run there Thursdays 2 to 4pm, no appointment, no charge. That's an assessment, not a skin test, and for most people it's a short conversation.
Registration is behind you now, but the full picture is worth keeping somewhere. Every line item, what it actually pays for, and what was optional all along.
Required for PE. Pick up the first week of school.
Same deal.
Not required by the school, but non-refundable once bought, and most families get one. Free entry to home games, $25 saved on Homecoming tickets, a free Acalanes t-shirt, and local discounts. 25% goes straight to athletics. Still on the Webstore if you skipped it, and if your student never got their white ASB shirt, it's waiting in room 314.
Student-designed, a new design each year, and white for the freshman class. Sold in one order window each August, and that window has closed for this year. No restock, no second run. If you ordered, shirts pass out mid-September.
Funds class events now and builds the account for junior/senior prom, senior breakfast, Time of Reflection, and graduation. Straight talk: this doesn't cover everything a class needs by senior year, and students earn a meaningful share of the rest through concessions and events they run. We'll post those here in advance, all year. No surprises.
Missed it at registration? It stays open on the Webstore all year, and right now it's the one way to put money straight into the Class of 2030 account. Class of 2030 Webstore page.
Separate vendor, and it hides at the bottom of the Freshman Supplies page. The item families miss every year. Order direct at yearbookordercenter.com, school order number 7610.
LPIE, APC, Boosters, and APAB appear as separate Webstore steps. Each funds something different but important for all students regardless of their connection with the org — see "Who runs what" below and give where it matters to your family.
The department lists (English, World Language, Math, Science) live here: Frosh Supplies List.
Now that classes have started, buy to what the teacher actually asked for rather than the generic list. The basics still apply: pens, pencils, college-ruled paper, a couple of 2-inch binders, and wired earbuds for science. The one worth getting right is math, where teachers name the TI-30XIIS scientific calculator, not a graphing one.
