Appleton area school district

The 2019 All City Strings Festival is at the Fox Cities PAC on Tuesday, April 23rd at 7:00 p.m.

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.

Educators! Want to work for the AASD? You are invited to attend our recruitment event! Same-day interviews will be held for educators at all levels and all areas.

AASD RTI coordinator Ashley Bath has been named an ‘Illuminator of the Year’ for her notable contributions at Appleton Area School District. The honor, bestowed by leading K-12 student achievement solution Illuminate Education, is awarded to a select group of educators and administrators committed to increasing the power of teaching and the delight of learning.

This year summer school registration will take place online. The first step in summer school registration is available now.

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. January 21st will be a day to join together with our entire community to celebrate and recognize the federal holiday. This day has been developed with our community partners to provide opportunities to learn and serve others in the tradition of MLK.

The Appleton Area School District, partnered with the Menasha Joint School District, Oshkosh Area School District, and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, has received a $112,422.00 grant to further develop English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and bilingual teachers for the next year.

We are committed to working with our community partners to encourage and improve student attendance in the Appleton Area School District.

The Appleton Area School District (AASD) is proud of the hard work of this year’s house construction class. We are also so grateful for the wonderful partnership with the Greater Fox Cities Habitat for Humanity and for our sponsor, The Boldt Company, who made the building of this house possible.
