Dear Logan Families,
We have two exciting events today. First, we welcomed back our first cohort of fourth and fifth grade students back into the building today. I’ve missed seeing them, and it so wonderful having every grade level back in the building again. I’m looking forward to seeing cohort 2 students on Thursday. For those families that chose virtual, we are grateful to see your kids every day on zoom!
Second, today is the first day of teacher appreciation week. I shared a longer message about the Logan staff in the April edition of the Logan Ledger, so I’ll keep my message brief here. The Logan staff is truly exceptional, and they deserve our appreciation! If you haven’t yet, please take some time to reach out to a staff member who has made a difference in your child’s life and thank them for their work this year.
In my Weekly Update this week, I’ve included information about:
- AAPS Full Fall 2021 Back to School Opening
- Logan Yearbook Reminder
- Logan Heritage Festival – A message from our Heritage Festival Committee
- Summer Programming
- Rec and Ed Summer Camps
- Dress for the Weather: Outdoor Recess Reminder
- Mark Your Calendar
- 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
AAPS Full Fall 2021 Back to School Opening
I’ve received several inquiries about next school year. AAPS has not yet posted the 2021-2022 calendar, but I can let you know that we are tentatively planning for a start date of Monday, August 30. Schools will be closed for Labor Day weekend on Friday, September 3 and Monday, September 7. I anticipate the school day returning to the 8:56am-3:59pm schedule. I hope to have these dates and times officially confirmed by AAPS soon.
Additionally, Dr. Swift shared the following key details for our back to school planning at the most recent board meeting. We are planning for a full 5 days per week in-school learning taught by AAPS teachers. Families will still have a virtual option if they choose, but there will be no hybrid instruction in Fall 2021. Spring enrollment is ongoing. If you know of anyone considering Logan, please encourage them to apply as soon as possible to help with our planning next year. We anticipate another in-district transfer and school of choice window to open in the near future.
Logan Yearbook Reminder
Even though we will have spent most of the year learning online, we are still creating a yearbook for our Logan Leopards, and it is going to be awesome! As we have in previous years, we will be providing a yearbook to all Logan students, but we need some help. In previous years, we used money from school pictures to pay for a yearbook for each student. Since we do not have school pictures this year, we are asking all families who are able to purchase a yearbook for $10. If you are able, we are asking families to donate an additional $10 to pay for another student’s yearbook whose family may not have the resources to purchase for their child. We plan to distribute a yearbook to every Logan Leopard! Help us make this possible and consider donating. See the attached flyer for more information.
Logan Heritage Festival – A message from our Heritage Festival Committee
Hello Logan Families!
Consider adding a reflection of your heritage on this year's Kudoboard! Share a part of what is special to your family by adding a picture or uploading a video. The board will officially be shared during our virtual Heritage Festival the week of May 24th. We look forward to seeing everyone's contributions!
