Feb 5

Dear Appleton Community…

Planning For Valentine’s Day

Classroom Valentine parties will be Wednesday, Feb. 14 this year. Look for information from your child’s teacher in Tuesday folders.

The #1 job for parents and guardians leading up to Valentine’s week…

Tell your child you love them and are proud of them!

School of Choice Second Chance = Transfer Requests

Question: What happens if my child is denied School of Choice? Is there any other way to be admitted to the school we want to attend?

Answer: If denied School of Choice, parent/guardians may fill out an online copy of the Transfer Request for next school year as early as two weeks prior to next school year.

PLEASE NOTE: Transportation will NOT be provided for students who live outside of the attendance area and attend school under School of Choice or Transfer.

4th Grade Music Program - February 29 at 6:00pm

Please be aware that the South Gym is NOT handicapped accessible. This historical 1938 gym provides the best viewing for audiences because it has a sound system, stage, bleachers, and a large gym for dances. Please let us know well in advance if there will be a member of your family or a friend who may need help getting up the stairs and we will be ready to help. Our other option is to hold the concert in the North Gym. Due to decorations, props, and moving heavy PA equipment, please give us plenty of notice if we need to move the concert to the North Gym, which is handicapped accessible. We will be happy to accommodate. Thanks so much!

White Iced Party – D51 Foundation -A Huge Success!

Over 900 people attended the White Iced event this year. A new attendance record! The D51 Foundation provides grants for K-12 students with financial need the support to allow them to pursue extracurricular activities, technology & innovation grants for staff, as well as professional learning grants for D51 educators. These resources make our school district better able to provide a quality education. Thank you to all the sponsors and especially Alpine Bank for sponsoring tickets for Appleton staff members.

PTA Meeting in February

Start planning now to attend out PTA meeting in February. PTA is such a crucial part of the student success here at Appleton, and we need YOU to be involved! Plan on joining for about an hour in the library on February 22nd, starting right after school (4:10). It takes all of us working together to keep Appleton a strong and growing place for kids to learn and thrive.
