AC Athletic Booster Passes are now for sale. Stop by the HS office during school hours, or they will also be for sale at our first home games. Go Bulldogs!!


Attention AC HS/JH Parents:
We are so looking forward to the first day of school tomorrow! This is an announcement to inform you of our new cell phone policy that will be enforced this school year. As many of you read in the updated student handbook, the new policy states:
"Developments in cell phone technology in recent years have resulted in enhanced communication opportunities. However, the use of cell phones in schools poses increasing risks of school disruptions, bullying, criminal activity, and academic dishonesty. As a result, student cell phones are banned during instructional time during the school day and in dressing areas and restrooms during extracurricular activities.
Students are not permitted to carry cell phones during school hours (7:50am – 3:32pm). If a student must bring a cell phone to school, it is to be secured in the office upon entry, placed and left in their locker, or left in other secure locations. If there is an emergency, students will be allowed to use the school phones. Students who disregard this policy face the following disciplinary steps: 1st Offense – The cell phone/device will be collected by a staff member and sent to the office. The student may pick up their phone at the end of the school day. 2nd Offense – The cell phone/device will be collected by a staff member and sent to the office. The parent will be contacted, and a parent will be required to pick up the device. 3rd Offense – The cell phone/device will be collected by a staff member and sent to the office. Parents will be contacted and required to pick up the device. The student will receive 1 day ISS (In-School Suspension). Further offenses will result in increased days of In-School Suspension up to Out of School Suspension."
The purpose of this new policy is in an effort to provide the best possible education to our students. Parents, if you need to get ahold of your child during the school day, please call the HS office, and a message can be given to your child.
Thank you for your continued support, and here's to a great 2023-24 school year!!

The Appleton City R-2 School District is proud to be able to, once again, provide free school supplies for students. We hope that providing these items for our students continues to benefit the parents and families in the community. Proud to be a Bulldog!


As part of our continuous improvement process, we would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to fill out a survey for our district. If you are a parent, guardian, or community member, please take some time to give us your feedback.
As a District, we are always looking for ways to improve outcomes for our students. If you have questions, or need a paper copy to fill out, please call Sarah Miller, Superintendent, at 660-476-2161 or come by Central Office.
