Appleton City R-II School District

It's hard to believe the start of the 2024-2025 school year is a little more than a month away! Here's the new year's school calendar as a reference. The official start date for students is Tuesday, August 20th. We look forward to seeing you soon, Bulldogs!

Today is the last day of Summer School! If you had a student enrolled in Summer School, please take the following survey. Thank you and enjoy your Summer! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SJParent24

Letters went out in the mail today with enrollment information for families who turned in applications for our Little Bulldogs Preschool for the 2024-2025 school year. Please be on the lookout for your letter to arrive. If you do not receive a letter but have turned in an application, please call the office. We do have a waitlist at this time. Additional slots may open in early August and we contact families in order of applications received. If you would like to be put on the waitlist, please call 660-476-2161 for information.

We are excited to announce the newest member to the AC Bulldog team, Meka Bauer! Mrs. Bauer will serve as our Elementary Principal for the 2024-2025 school year. She brings a background rich in instruction and leadership. She will be a great asset to our District and we are proud to have her on board next year! Welcome to the Bulldog family, Mrs. Bauer!

Due to muddy field conditions and incoming weather, Field Day activities for Elementary are cancelled today. Unfortunately, no make-up day is planned. We will have alternate activities in classrooms planned for students.

What a week! The JH/HS concert band traveled to St. Louis to participate in the Six Flags Music Festival. They performed in the morning at the Palace Theatre for a panel of judges and an audience, then got to spend the rest of the day in the park. The kids played beautifully, were well behaved in the park and represented Appleton City very well. Thank you to everyone in the community that supported the band in their fundraising efforts to get there, they would not have gotten this opportunity without it!
