You may visit classrooms during this time. We will have inflatables set up on the baseball field and will also serve hot dogs, chips, cookies, and drinks in the cafeteria. Also on the 17th, a track ribbon cutting will take place at 6:45 pm at the Track. The Powerade Scrimmage/Meet the Players Night will start at 7 pm or immediately following the ribbon cutting. **As a reminder, all school supplies for students K-6 has been taken care of by the school. All students will need is a backpack and water bottle. JH/HS students will receive basic supplies. All supplies will be in classrooms for students.

Please see the announcement below regarding school supplies for the 2023-2024 school year. The only items students will be asked to bring are a water bottle and backpack. Resources are available for these items if needed. We would also appreciate any donations of Clorox wipes and Facial Tissues. 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!
