Dear Guests,

The entire staff of Acalanes Adult Education (AAE) extends its heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of our Guests who have entrusted us with your educational journey. We are deeply honored to serve our community since 1945 and eagerly anticipate welcoming you as our Guest for our Winter 2025 term.

The Del Valle Education Center has added recycle and composting bins throughout the campus, in alignment with California State Law Senate Bill 1383, which requires the composting of organics. Every business must separate organics, including all food scraps, uncoated food-soiled paper, and landscaping trimmings for composting.

In compliance with this law and in support and partnership with the Acalanes Union High School District's (AUHSD) Sustainability Committee, the Del Valle Education Center will now have trash, recycling, and the addition of composting bins throughout the campus. For more information on the RecycleSmart Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority school programs and resources, please visit their website. We kindly ask Guests to review the AUHSD Waste Sorting Guide to help you identify what is to be placed in recycle, landfill, or compost.

Let us all do our part to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions; reduce, reuse, and recycle; and properly dispose of items for landfill. Together we can make a difference!

Please refer to page 4 for our refund policy. AAE strongly encourages Guests to register online; however, we will also accept registrations by mail or over the phone. Guests may utilize American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa for payment. We strongly recommend early enrollment to reserve your space in popular classes and avoid potential cancellations due to low enrollment.

We are profoundly grateful for your unwavering support of AAE and look forward to seeing you in our classes during our Winter 2025 term.

Thank you,

Steven France, Director
