Dear Logan Families,
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful break! As you know, AAPS has modified its reopening of schools following this winter break. Schools are closed today and tomorrow. We will open for virtual remote learning on Wednesday, January 5th through Friday, January 7th. We anticipate a return to in-school learning for students and staff on Monday, January 10, 2022. I do recognize the challenges that these sudden transitions create for families, and I want to thank the entire Logan community for your flexibility and patience. We truly appreciate your partnership as we navigate this ongoing pandemic.
I am using this Weekly Update to communicate important information about virtual school on Wednesday through Friday this week as well as a few other important announcements. Please take time to read through all of these details.
In this Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:
Virtual School Schedule
Virtual School Instruction
Tech Support for Families
AAPS Food Distribution During Virtual Learning - Wednesday, January 5 2022
AAPS Vaccination Clinic
Important Upcoming Dates
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
Virtual School Schedule
We will observe our current, regular school day schedule. School begins at 8:45 AM and will end at 3:48 PM. We will follow our regular specials schedule and our regular lunch schedule as well. Individual classroom teachers will communicate a detailed class schedule to families so you can help your child navigate the day. We will also be taking attendance in the morning and afternoon. Please help your child log in on time so they are not marked absent.
Virtual School Instruction
Students will be receiving live instruction via zoom. Teachers will provide zoom links to families. These links will also be available through teachers’ Schoology pages, though we recognize that some students and families may not have as much experience with Schoology, especially in the younger grades. If you have any trouble finding your child’s zoom link, please contact their teacher.
We also recognize that a full day of uninterrupted screen time is not ideal for our elementary age students. Therefore, the day will be broken into chunks of live instruction, independent work time, and breaks. The Logan staff is experienced in virtual instruction and can provide developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for your child during these days of remote learning. Rest assured that even when your child is working independently, your child's teacher will be available to support them should questions arise.
Students will attend their regularly scheduled specials. Your child’s teacher will help them know how to get to their special area classes. Students with IEPs will continue to receive special education services as well. Academic support services like Reading Intervention and English Language Learning supports will continue too. All of these service providers will be reaching out to families to make sure you know how to access these services.
