Dear Logan Families,
Dr. Swift, Superintendent of Ann Arbor Public Schools, sent an email to all AAPS families on Wednesday night with information about the upcoming school year. There was a lot of information in this email. If you have not read it, please do. Here is a link. One of the details in her message was information about technology distribution.
Tech distribution will take place Monday, August 31st through Thursday, September 3rd, 8:00am – 6:00pm. AAPS will distribute devices to ALL students. Every Logan student must get a device. Young 5s through first grade students will receive an iPad and second grade through fifth grade students will receive a Chromebook. These devices will be preloaded with apps and materials that will be needed for school this year. All Logan families will pick up their devices at Huron High School. This will be a drive through pick up. You will not exit your car, and we ask that you wear a mask while interacting with our staff. This map shows how to proceed through the parking lot at Huron. The distribution has been scheduled by last name and will follow the schedule below.
If you received a district device last spring, please bring that device to the distribution next week. We will be collecting old devices before giving children a new device. Prior to arriving, please complete the AAPS 1:1 Form. If you cannot complete this form online, please call 734-997-1222 or email family_techsupport@aaps.k12.mi.us for further assistance.
Paperwork Drop Off
New families have been waiting for information about dropping off paperwork to complete their enrollments. We will be collecting all required documents at the tech distribution as well. If possible, we are asking families to bring original documents along with copies. We will check the originals and keep the copies. If you cannot bring a copy, please bring the original documents and we’ll make copies onsite. You can see detailed instructions about the required paperwork here. Please direct all enrollment questions to Christy Landefeld at landefeldc@aaps.k12.mi.us.
Rescheduled Meet and Greet
In order to ensure everyone is able to pick up their devices, we have decided to reschedule Logan’s Welcome Back Virtual Meet and Greet. The new date for the Meet and Greet will be Thursday, September 3, 5:00pm until 6:00pm. I recognize that this will create a conflict for some families with students at Clague. I apologize for the conflict. However, this new time will allow all Logan families to pick up devices at their assigned times prior to attending the Meet and Greet, and we believe this will make the transition into virtual school that much easier for your children.
Schedule Clarification
Tuesday, September 8-Friday, September 11: Orientation Week
During the first week of school, instruction will be in the mornings only (8:10-11:20 A.M.) All teachers will spend time during the first week helping students become acquainted, building friendships, creating a classroom community and helping students learn to use Schoology, our new learning management system, and other tools that we’ll be using for virtual school
Monday, September 14: Full Day Instruction Begins for Everyone
All students begin full daily instruction on Monday, September 14. Each day begins with a classroom Morning Meeting at 8:10am. The school-day ends at 3:13pm. You can find the sample daily schedule here. This is a general overview of the day. Detailed schedules will be provided by classroom teachers with more information about exact times that students will be synchronous and asynchronous.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Meet and Greet next week. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
