January 28, 2022


Dear Logan Families,

I’m sure you’ve seen the many COVID notification emails over these past few weeks. Clearly we are seeing an increase in cases here at Logan and across AAPS. In many instances, we have observed that students who test positive have the most mild symptoms (especially if they’re fully vaccinated). Something as little as a runny nose or fatigue can indicate a possible COVID infection. Therefore, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of monitoring for symptoms and keeping your child home anytime even the most mild symptoms are observed. When we have positive cases come to school, it increases the risk of shutting down classrooms, grade levels, and even our school for everyone. As a parent, I know how hard it can be to plan to have a sick child at home (especially when they don’t seem that sick!), but it is also the most important step we can take to keep our doors open and in-person learning thriving for all of our Logan Leopards. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. 


I’m sharing a Friday update this week and unless I have any new information that needs to be shared next week, this will be the only Weekly Update you’ll receive this week and next. I’ll resume my regular Monday updates the following week. This Weekly Update includes important information about: 


  • Bus Route Suspension - Important

  • Updated COVID Protocols 

  • Clague Middle School Parent Orientation (Fifth grade families only)

  • Important Upcoming Dates


As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. 


Sincerely,

Will Wright




Bus Route Suspension - Important

Starting Monday, January 31, 2022, Bus 94 (AM only) and Bus 110 (AM and PM) will resume regular service. 


Starting Monday, January 31, 2022 through Friday, February 11, 2022, Bus 76 (AM and PM) and Bus 148 (AM and PM) will be suspended. Families of students on these suspended routes will have to find alternate transportation to and from school. We anticipate services will resume Monday, February 14. 


****Please note that canceled routes means a significant increase in cars moving in and out of the parking lot during arrival and dismissal. Therefore, I’m sending a few important reminders to help this process go smoothly. Please be patient! Our most important priority is ensuring everyone’s safety. 

Arrival Reminders: 

  • Pull forward all the way to the bottom of the hill before unloading. This allows as many cars to enter the parking lot as possible. Do not stop in front of the playground to unload if there are no cars in front of you. 

  • Only cross at the crosswalk. Do not cut between cars in the drop off line.

Dismissal Reminders: 

  • Have your Driveline number ready. For families who are new to picking up at dismissal, this is the number we use to alert your child’s teacher that you have arrived at school to pick them up. Christy Landefeld recently sent everyone’s numbers via email. Check your inboxes and make sure you have this number when you arrive at school. 

  • Keep pulling forward in the car line at the end of the day! Don’t stop until the car in front of you stops. Your children will wait on the steps by the front entrance and walk down the hill to load. We have a lot of adults helping make sure your child gets to you. If you are uncomfortable having your child walk to your car, please park (either in the parking lot or along Traver) and walk to meet them.


Updated COVID Protocols 

In consultation with the Washtenaw County Health Department, AAPS has updated our COVID safety protocols. Those protocols can be found here. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
