Dear Logan Families,

My apologies sending this Weekly Update a little later than usual. I hope everyone had a restful and reflective long weekend.

In this Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:

  • MLK Assembly Video Link
  • Lexia Reminder
  • Free Virtual Science Game Night for AAPS Students
  • Nominate an Excellent Logan Teacher
  • Helpful Links on the AAPS Website

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.​​​​​​​

Sincerely,

Will Wright


MLK Assembly Video Link

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our assembly honoring Dr. King last Friday. If you were unable to attend, Ms. Joslin helped create a musical performance of Lift Every Voice and Sing. It was inspiring, and your kids did such a beautiful job performing. You can view that performance here.


Lexia Reminder

I wanted to remind all families about Lexia Core 5. This program is used in all of our classrooms (except Y5s) and is part of our core reading curriculum. The goal is to complete all Lexia levels by the end of fifth grade. Each student in the program should spend time everyday working through it. We fully recognize the challenges families face managing online school, and we hear the concerns many have about screen time. Therefore, I offer this as a gentle reminder that if possible, we would appreciate your support with having kids complete their Lexia minutes each week.


Free Virtual Science Game Night for AAPS Students

Alpha Epsilon Delta, a pre-health organization at the University of Michigan is planning an online volunteer event for our community! 

All Elementary Students are welcome to sign up for a virtual science game night on Wednesday, February 10th at 4pm. 

Students and U-M volunteers will gather together on a Zoom call to play fun science games and get to talk about life with older mentors! 

The event should last around 30 minutes. 


Nominate an Excellent Logan Teacher

Nominations are now open for the AAPS Excellence in Virtual Instruction Award, and we have some exceptional teachers at Logan. Sponsored by Google, the award recognizes exceptional AAPS educators during this challenging year. If you think your child’s teacher has done exceptional work during this time of virtual instruction, please consider nominating them for this honor. To learn more about the award and nominate an educator by February 16th at 5 PM, click here. Deadline for Nominations: February 16th, 2021 at 5pm.
