Dear Appleton Community,

Make it stand out

Conference Time - Sign up now!

Conferences are October 13, 18 & 19.  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. Sign up sheets in today’s Tuesday folders.

Appleton Students Met or Exceeded State Standards At Higher Rate Than the State

As a percentage of students, kids at Appleton were more likely to meet or exceed state standards than students across the state according to last year’s Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS).  Our students were higher in every category. Check out the difference.

English Language Arts/Literacy

3rd - +1.9%

4th - +5.5%

5th - +23.5%

Math

3rd - +6.5%

4th - +2.1%

5th - +19.7%

Make sure you give your kids, and their teachers, a high five for this outstanding achievement!

Good News Club Begins Sept. 29th

Information on the Good News Club (the weekly Friday early release event) will come out in today’s Tuesday folder. The start date for when students can attend will be Sept. 29th. 

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 Tuesday, 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). 

! ! Safety ! !

As a reminder, please do not let your child out of your vehicle on H road. This is extremely dangerous. Please be willing to drive them up to the appropriate spot along the curb up near the front doors of the school. Additionally, have them exit your vehicle on the passenger side while you’re parked next the curb (please don’t let them out while still in traffic, park next to the curb!). This is for your childs safety, and the safety of all the students here at Appleton.
