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.

Field Day Fans Welcome

Field Day is Wednesday, May 22 and runs from 9:15-11:40. Parents and families are welcome to attend and cheer on our Bookworms. Please make sure your child has been slathered with sunscreen before they get to school.
