On behalf of the entire Logan staff, we wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all of our Logan families. We hope that you take some time to shut down, step away from your screens, relax, and enjoy some family-time! We are thankful for the opportunity to spend our days with your children and to work alongside your family.  Enjoy the holiday!

Food Distribution

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, AAPS Food Distribution will only occur on Monday, November 23. Seven days worth of food will be distributed at each location. Regular twice-a- week food distribution will begin again on Monday, November 30 until winter break when AAPS will again distribute seven days worth of food on December 21 & 28 at all locations.


Connecting Together: An AAPS Parent/Guardian Support Group in Arabic, Korean, Chinese and Japanese

Drop-in support groups for parents and guardians of student's in AAPS, conducted in different languages. Connect with other parents to find support and get ideas about how to face the challenges of 2020. Last year, parents who participated in an AAPS parent support group consistently reported that they found it helpful, and appreciated hearing from and connecting with other parents going through similar struggles.

Arabic: November 30th at 1:30PM

Chinese: December 4th at 1:30 PM

Korean: December 11th at 1:30 PM

Japanese: December 14th at 1:30PM

Screenagers Next Chapter: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience

With funding provided by the Miles Jeffrey Roberts Foundation, and with support from the Washtenaw ISD and Washtenaw County Community Mental Health, the AAPS is providing all families with the opportunity to view Screenagers Next Chapter: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience. For more information, please see the district’s website, or CLICK HERE to register for on-demand access to the documentary.  Due to the content of the documentary, it is intended for students in grades 6-12. You may also register to view the original Screenagers documentary which may be more suited for younger children (e.g. 4th/5th grade). 

AAPS invites you to attend a Facebook Live event on Tuesday, January 12, 2021, at 7:00 PM. This event will feature mental health professionals and educators from across the county speak to the documentary and the local supports and resources for students and families. Complete details about this event will be shared when we return from winter break, but mark your calendar now!

I want to remind you that the contact information for the members of our school's student support team is listed on our school webpage. If your student or family is ever in need of immediate and urgent support, here are two resources: Washtenaw County Community Mental Health - Crisis Line: 734-544-3050 and Ozone House - Crisis Line: 734-662-2222.
