Asian-American Violence
In her weekly email last week, Dr. Swift addressed the recent tragedy in Atlanta. She writes, “The Ann Arbor Public Schools stand strong against all acts of bias, bigotry and racism.” Logan is a community that has long celebrated our diversity. We serve many Asian American students and families here at Logan. I wanted to take a moment to offer my support and compassion to our AAPI students, staff, and families at this difficult time. We want you to know that you are an integral part of this community, and we will continue to live our value of welcoming and celebrating all families in the Logan community.
Dr. Swift shared some resources with the AAPS in her email last week. I will share them here as well.

Driveline Numbers
When we begin our hybrid model, we will be using a new dismissal system called Driveline. If your child is participating in our hybrid program, you will need to use this system. Each family is assigned a five-digit number. If you have multiple children at Logan, they will all have the same number. When you arrive at school during dismissal, you’ll give your code to one of the “dispatchers” (Logan staff who have iPhones to enter the codes). Parents who are waiting in our parent pick up line should have it prominently displayed in the window of your car. The dispatchers will use the code to alert the classroom teacher that you’ve arrived and teachers will send your child(ren) to your location. This system will ensure a safer dismissal process. You can read more about dismissal in the Logan Family Handbook. Your driveline codes will arrive by email today or tomorrow.
Term 2 Report Cards – Delayed One Week
AAPS has decided to postpone T2 report card completion. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Report cards will now be sent home electronically on Friday, April 9th.
Breakfast and Lunch Options for Hybrid Learning
Student School Breakfast and Lunches are Free for the rest of the school year but you must order lunch for your student. Families will need to order student lunches using the new
AAPS Online Student Lunch Ordering system. For the rest of this school year families will not be charged for breakfast or lunch but you must register for the program at sendmoneytoschool.com in order for your student to receive a free lunch on their hybrid in-school learning day. Menus are also posted online. Questions? Contact AAPS Food Service at 734-994-2265.
Reminders from Nurse Mary for Hybrid Learning
Immunizations:
Make sure your child's immunizations are up to date.
Contact your Health Care Provider if any immunizations are needed prior to returning to school.
Medications at School:
If your child requires medications at school reach out to your child's health care provider to obtain the necessary medication forms. This includes Asthma or Allergy Action Plans. Please contact me or the main office to schedule medication drop off.

Logan Heritage Festival
The Logan community is creating a cookbook as part of our virtual Heritage Festival celebration, and we want your recipes! Students, families, teachers, staff please send us your favorite recipe and a short description of why it’s special to you. Maybe it’s food from the country that you lived in before you came to Ann Arbor, or a special dish to celebrate a holiday. Maybe it’s a birthday treat, or your favorite dinner. Maybe it’s a recipe that’s been in your family for so long you don’t know who first made it, or maybe it’s something delicious you discovered this year during quarantine.
Everyone is encouraged to submit a recipe and everyone will get a copy of the cookbook later this spring. Information on how to submit can be found HERE and in the March Logan Ledger.

AAPS Enrollment Windows
Enrollment for 2021-22 opens on March 16. Please help us spread the word. Families who live in our attendance area can enroll at any time. The enrollment window for in-district transfer applicants open March 16 and closes April 5 at 5:00pm. The school-of-choice window is not yet open. If you’re the parent of a fifth grader and you are enrolled at Logan through in-district transfer or school of choice, you must apply for in-district transfer to send your child to Clague (or any other AAPS middle school program outside of your attendance area). All Young 5s students will be automatically enrolled in Logan kindergarten. Parents of Young 5s students should inform the office if you do not plan on sending your child to Logan next year.
