Dear Appleton Community…

School Ends 2 Days Sooner + Bond Issue Update

Appleton is set to receive over $7 million in construction work this summer including: asbestos abatement, HVAC improvements, fire suppression, a makerspace area in the library, and ADA improvements as part of the continued voter-approved bond work. District leadership is committed to ensuring a smooth and organized transition for staff as construction begins this summer. To provide adequate time for packing, organizing, and relocating materials ahead of this work, the last day of school for students at Appleton has been moved up to Monday, May 18, 2026, two days earlier than originally planned.

Mid Year Conferences Attendance

We want to thank all of the families who attended the recent parent/teacher conferences. Our attendance for these important meetings unfortunately was lower than expected at 89.6%. Typically we are at about 95%. If you missed your child’s conference, it’s not too late to connect with the teacher and find out how your child is doing and how you can support them. Please connect with your child’s teacher when they reach out to you. Thank you.
