Appleton area school district

We will utilize these grant funds to address security needs at our schools, our ability to respond in a crisis situation, and training in the DOJ-approved Adolescent Mental Health program.

This week is School Board Week in Wisconsin, so it’s a great time for us to show our appreciation to these dedicated individuals for all the time and effort they devote in support of our Appleton area schools.

Thank you for being a part of our district. Students and families are valuable members of our schools and community. Our top priority is to ensure a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment for all.

This year's House Construction Class House Build with the Fox Cities Habitat for Humanity is being generously sponsored by The Boldt Company, with a $75,000 donation to the partnership.

We asked to see all of those smiling faces, from kindergartners to seniors on their first day back to school and our community responded!

Lots of smiles this morning at our annual Welcome Back for our AASD staff! We honored our award-winning staff, featured student singers, and applauded our 30-year staff!

Starting this year, we’ll be recognizing birthdays and other celebrations during the school day in new, fun, and meaningful ways! A change is that students won’t be bringing in snacks from home to share.

We are so happy to welcome nearly 80 new educators to our district for the 18-19 school year! Welcome to the AASD!

All students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge at the following sites: Badger Elementary, Columbus Elementary, Horizons Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, McKinley Elementary, Johnston Elementary and Wilson Middle School.

In addition to partnering with local agencies to complete service projects in the community, participants engage in team-building activities, service learning opportunities, and take part in a curriculum designed to improve social accountability.

At last night’s AASD Board of Education meeting, a revised calendar for the 2018-19 school was unanimously approved. The purpose of this revision was to create a “no school day” for all staff and students on January 21, 2019 to honor the federal holiday recognizing the birthday of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sixty-four school districts and consortiums are sharing $3.25 million in state grant funding to provide school-based mental health services. The Appleton Area School District received $65,000.

The Appleton Area School District is proud to announce the hiring of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer (DEIO). Our school communities and school culture are where we need to ensure that we are inclusive and responsive to each individual student and their unique cultural backgrounds and needs. We recommit ourselves every day to a welcoming culture for ALL by building an understanding and acceptance of differences between and among our students.

Today, the AASD hosted Attorney General Brad Schimel and thirteen other districts that have been awarded grants through the Wisconsin Department of Justice School Safety Grant program.

Across the state, schools implementing equitable multi-level systems of supports are congratulated for their efforts through the Wisconsin RtI Center's RECOGNIZED SCHOOLS PROGRAM. The AASD is proud of our 21 schools that were included this year!
