Dear Parents/Guardians,
As summer is ending, I wanted to reach out and let you know about our Back to School Night at Aplington Middle School.
We will be having a Back to School Night on August 12th for all 6th grade students and all new students grades 6th-8th. We will begin at 5:00 pm. Please come directly to the gym as, we will go over a few things, and then students and parents will be able to tour the building as well as put away school supplies! Please bring those supplies with you as this is a great time to have the students leave them in their lockers! We know that this helps to get the jitters out prior to the first day. This will only last until 6:00pm as we all have an early morning the next day!! We look forward to seeing everyone there.
The first day of school will be on August 13th from 8:10 am-11:15 am. We will be releasing early on that day. On August 14th and 15th, we will be releasing at 2:00 p.m. As you know, Aplington is not air conditioned. However, if the days are hot, we will be utilizing rooms at the high school to keep the students cool. Please send a water bottle with your student, every day. We have both bottle fillers and the drinking fountains.
Please make sure that your students are fully registered prior to the first day. Without them being fully registered they are unable to start on August 13th! If you any questions about this, please reach out to Ms. Annette Jones at ajones@poloschools.net. Once again, I am so excited to be working with you and your child this year!
Sincerely,
Dr. Kelly Mandrell
Full Year Substitute Teacher for the 2025-2026 School Year!

We've got a U.S. map, a generous gift from the class of 1974, and we're ready to fill it up! Tell us where you've landed so we can update it. Let's make this map a true reflection of our alumni across the country!
Dr. Hardy's gift has been thoughtfully allocated to benefit our students and school community in meaningful ways. The Polo School District has received $5,000, which will be used to purchase and install brand-new shot clocks – a wonderful enhancement for our athletic programs, made even more special as they are dedicated in memory of Coach Philip Hardy.
Additionally, the Polo School Foundation has received $5,000 to establish two $2,500 scholarships. These will be awarded to one deserving male and one deserving female student in the graduating Class of 2026, helping them pursue their academic dreams.
We understand that Dr. Hardy's fond memories of his time at Polo inspired this act of giving back to the community he cherishes. On behalf of both the District and the Foundation, we are truly thankful for the continued support from our alumni. It's heartwarming to see former students like Dr. Hardy contribute so significantly to the future of Polo!
