Please see link below for more information.

Appleton Area School District students are prohibited from wearing clothing or possessing accessories which, in the opinion of school authorities, is contrary to acceptable health and safety standards or may disrupt the educational process or learning atmosphere. In an effort to keep the learning environment appropriate to a work setting, student dress must conform to the following minimum standards:

● Headgear (including hoods) may not be worn in the school building

● Jackets, coats, and gloves may not be worn in the building during school hours

● Students must wear appropriate footwear in and around school at all times

● No pants can be worn below the waist (undergarments may not be visible)

● Students may not wear revealing clothing. Examples may include but are not limited to: short skirts or revealing shorts, clothing that exposes midriffs or undergarments

● No garments which advertise or promote alcohol, tobacco products, or other drugs may be worn

● No attire or accessory which by its design, use, or intended use, could cause bodily harm, property damage, or intimidation to other persons, may be worn. Examples may include chains, leather straps, pet collars, and spikes

● No gang-related attire is allowed

● Body markings or tattoos that do not meet the above standards must be fully covered

Since styles change, the administration reserves the right to determine what is inappropriate for the learning environment. This policy is in force during the school day, in school vehicles, and at all school activities. The wearing of outer garments and headwear will be permitted in school vehicles and at school activities when appropriate.

All students absent on the original Picture Day, October 3rd, will have their picture taken on November 7th. If your student had a picture taken on October 3rd, and you would like a retake, you must register at the link below.

Cold weather is right around the corner. Please remember to dress your child for the weather. Once snow is on the ground, students without appropriate winter clothing (snow pants, boots, etc) will have to stay on the black top areas during recess.

Ferber is currently looking for 1-2 lunch supervisors. This is a paid, part time position and can be a lot of fun!

The hours are 11:15 am - 1:30 pm.

Pay is $11/hour.
