Dear Appleton Community…

Conference Time!

Conferences are October 9, 10 & 16.

Did you know that greater than 95% of Appleton parents attend their child’s conference? Conferences are a great way to find out your child’s growth, what you can do to help your child, and give you reasons to hug your kid for their effort over the first quarter.

Halloween at Appleton

I know it is a little early but to help in your Halloween costume planning, here are the protocols for our Halloween celebration:

Parade - We will have a costume parade out on the north playground, weather permitting at 10:00 am on Friday, Oct. 31. In case of poor weather the parade will be canceled and will not be held in the hallways.
No weapons or facsimiles of weapons. This includes: all martial arts weapons, bullets, bullet casings, all guns, all bladed props (swords, knives, scythe, tridents, etc.), bows and arrows.
Parents/Guardians - Parents are allowed to participate in person at the parties and the parade. Parents will be asked to sign into the parade (a sign-up table will be set up on the north playground and for parties).
Custodial Appreciation Day
Thursday, Oct. 2 is Custodial Appreciation Day. Mr. Clayton Newitt, Appleton’s Lead Custodian, has a hard job cleaning up after 500 students and staff every day. Yet, he and his team of Patrick Higgs and Hunter Buniger make our building clean and safe every day. A big Appleton thank you in appreciation to these valuable team members. Thanks guys!!
