Dear Appleton Community…
Attendance Continues to Improve
There were 123 fewer absences this year in April than last year’s April. That makes a marked improvement and we are so thankful for your child’s attendance. It’s easier to teach and for a student to learn when a student attends school more often. Let’s finish strong!

Parent Information Night - Thursday, August 14

Missing Something?
We have collected over 100 student coats and sweat tops as well as numerous hats, lunch pails, and other items in our lost and found. 100!!! Please check out the Appleton lost and found.
Are You Moving?
If you are planning on moving and if your child will not be attending Appleton next year, please contact the school office. This will help us better predict the number of Transfer Requests we can approve. Thank you!
Go Bookworms!
