Chappell Elementary School Chappell Elementary is an International Baccalaureate World School on Green Bay's west side. At Chappell, we believe healthy kids make for healthy learners.

To meet the instructional needs of our diverse learners, special programming is delivered by specially-certified staff throughout the school day. Chappell was one of the first schools that became a THRIVE school. THRIVE is a wellness partnership between Bellin Health and the Green Bay Area Public School District. The aim of the program is to create a school-based framework that addresses population-specific determinates of health to increase learning and wellness. Chappell is a technology-rich school which has a 1:1 laptop program in grades 3 – 5 and a beginning 1:1 program in 2nd grade. Students have a technology plan and outcomes at each grade level. Students are very engaged and perform high level tasks by the time they are in 5th grade. The school also utilizes iPod touches, student response systems and flip video cameras. Furthermore, Chappell is one of the first public elementary International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme schools in Wisconsin and is an authorized IB PYP school. With the IB PYP program we have implemented a foreign language program during the 2011-2012 school year. This program is a full immersion program and will look to challenge all students. The Chappell staff is characterized by a very strong work ethic, effective and consistent collaboration, and dedication to the use of best instructional practices. Our staff stresses the importance of close collaboration with one another, our parents, and our community. We are dedicated to the belief that all children can learn, and we provide a differentiated learning environment to accomplish this goal. Additionally, two of our current staff are winners of the Partners in Education Golden Apple Award. Furthermore, due to the collaborative efforts of the entire school community, Chappell was named a Wisconsin School of Recognition for 2010-2011.

🎨 Adventures in 2nd grade art: students are working on a collaborative mural inspired by artist Alma Thomas. Each table was assigned a piece of the mural, these pieces were then passed along to the next 2 classes, each class building onto the previous work. All pieces will be connected: 60 2nd graders producing one amazing work of art! 💜💛

While the 2026 Operational Referendum is about needed revenue, it is important to focus on the why. GBAPS has also developed an instructional-vision, which is an intentional effort to improve academic outcomes.

Over the summer, UnboundEd presented GBAPS with its 2026 GLEAM Instruction Showcase Award, recognizing the District's sustained, system-wide commitment to grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful instruction. To maintain these efforts, it is important that the District is able to provide meaningful professional development, retain its highly qualified staff, and maintain reasonable class sizes.

View the video to learn more about how the District’s adoption of an instructional-vision is changing outcomes for students!

In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Chappell students and staff were invited to wear ribbon skirts and shirts. These garments, typically worn for ceremonies and other special events, are created to preserve and celebrate a connection to indigenous ancestry and community. The colors and patterns of the ribbons can represent specific tribes, families and spiritual beliefs.

Why is an operational referendum needed?

One factor is special education funding. For the 2026-27 school year, GBAPS is anticipating receiving approximately 38% reimbursement (which is what we received in 2025-26) for special education services, despite a state commitment of 45%, resulting in $5 million less in revenue than anticipated over the 2 year state budget.

For the last several years, the District has been transferring more than $30 million a year to cover the difference between the cost of services and what is reimbursed by the state.

As these unreimbursed costs continue to grow, they place increasing pressure on the District's operating budget. The 2026 Operational Referendum would provide funding to help sustain student programs, maintain services, and continue supporting the needs of all learners.
