Join us for a fun-filled learning adventure in AASD's 2025 Summer School.
Since 1983, the Mielke Educator of the Year Awards, funded by the Mielke Family Foundation, have celebrated exceptional educators within the AASD community. This year, we’re excited to introduce a new category: Mielke Support Staff of the Year, recognizing the invaluable contributions of administrative assistants, ASU, custodial & maintenance staff, paraprofessionals, and substitutes!
Bilingual 4K will not be available through either Appleton Community 4K or the Appleton Bilingual School (ABS) for the 2025-2026 school year. However, we remain committed to expanding bilingual learning opportunities and are actively working toward launching the grade level at ABS beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.
Our volunteers play a crucial role in facilitating the administration of exams to our AP students. There are nearly 50 slots available on multiple dates in May, during the week, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Thank you for your support of our students!
The AASD 9-12 Social Studies Director is reviewing instructional materials for their courses. As part of the adoption process, AASD staff members, students, parents, and residents are provided with the opportunity to examine and contribute feedback on the recommended instructional materials.
