The school will have a gymnasium with full-size basketball court and a commons/cafeteria in the heart of the building. Additional specialized spaces include a Library/Media Center (LMC), general music room, band/strings music room, art and STEM spaces, a sensory gym, and special education classrooms throughout the facility.

“The community support behind the referendum was tremendous and support and excitement have continued leading up to this groundbreaking,” said Greg Hartjes, Superintendent of the Appleton Area School District. “The addition of Sandy Slope Elementary to our District means we can reduce Kindergarten-2nd grade class sizes, as the north side of the city continues to grow, while also transitioning 6th graders to our middle schools. I am excited to get this project underway and I know our staff and students are excited as well.”

Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction, Inc. is providing design and construction management services to the District for the Sandy Slope project. “As an Appleton business, Hoffman is thrilled to help bring Sandy Slope Elementary to the community and help strengthen the Appleton Area School District with this addition as well as the various other projects throughout the District,” said Sam Statz, Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction, Inc. president. “Our partnership with the District goes back many years and we are honored to be working with them on these critical projects for our community and students.”
