Appleton Area School District

Mission: To support success in life for Every Student, Every Day.

The Appleton Area School District (AASD) is committed to providing a safe, healthy, and welcoming environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Guided by our motto, Success for Every Student, Every Day, we work collaboratively with families, staff, and the community to prepare each graduate for success in their career, college, and community.
Through strong partnerships and aligned resources, we strive to maximize efficiency and excellence in our operations, ensuring every student receives the support they need to succeed. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for all students.

United for Reading Success (UFRS) is a high-quality and well-structured volunteer first grade reading program. The intention of the UFRS program is to encourage children to enjoy books, support their efforts to learn to read, and to celebrate their successes.

The UFRS program is aligned with AASD’s reading curriculum and instruction and is intended to build confidence and create lifelong readers and learners.

Our volunteers are trained to use the easy-to-follow materials. The structure of each session includes time for the tutor to read to the child and time to work together on a list of high frequency words. The child also reads, which provides practice and allows the child to discover new things, opening doors to new adventures, opportunities and a brighter future!
