Message from the Principal
Dear Knight Families,
What a great week of learning and beautiful weather! We loved the Valentine's day spirit today. We have another free dress day next Friday for school pictures and our student council is planning a Spirit Week the first week of March. Fun! We are celebrating random acts of kindness next week at ACPO. We'll be encouraging everyone to find ways to be extra kind to others on campus. We look forward to the friendliest week of the year!
Hoping you have a restful and joyful weekend! Happy Birthday, Abraham Lincoln!
Tony Alcala
Principal – ACP Oakland

ACP ATHLETIC PICTURE REQUEST
Dear Parents... We are looking for a just couple more pictures from our quarter 2 sports that we may include in the school yearbook. If you have that perfect shot for scoring, or a great picture conveying teamwork, etc. we'd love to have you send those pictures digitally to our yearbook advisor Sheryl Kitamura. Please email any pictures you feel are potentially yearbook worthy directly to her email address: kitamura.sheryl@cusd80.com We are finalizing the last details of the school yearbook for a very memorable year and don't want to miss any of the highlights!
Don't forget... yearbook sales will be ending before Spring Break. Don't forget to order yours today.
Go Knights!

ACP Library Update
