Appleton area school district

For the 2017-2018 school year, the district partnered with the Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity to build a house during the first semester, and renovate a second house during the second semester.

Congratulations to all of the recipients of the Ronald Dunlap Student Success Award!

30-year-old Elyse Lucas is a teacher at Appleton North High School and Fox Cities Leadership Academy. She was diagnosed with breast cancer two months ago. When her students learned she was losing her hair due to chemotherapy, they came up with a plan to show their support. Eleven of her students made the bold decision to go fully or partially bald.

Due to the delays and cancelations in January and February, the District will need to make changes to the school day to make up instructional minutes.

When the weather is bad, the Appleton Area School District follows a process for deciding if schools will be open or closed. The district must make a decision that is the best for all students. We encourage and strongly support you in making the decision that is best for your child(ren). You are always the best judge of your child’s health and safety.

According to the US Department of Agriculture, up to 40% of food produced in America is wasted, amounting to 31 million tons of food added to landfills each year. In an effort to reduce food waste in schools, the Appleton Area District will begin implementing food sharing tables in all school cafeterias starting on January 22.

We are proud to announce that plans have been finalized for the first annual MLK Community Day of Service.
