Dear Logan Families,
We are looking forward to seeing our Logan Leopards tomorrow as we return to in-person learning! Thank you to all of our families for your support and partnership over the past week. We know that these virtual days come with some challenges, and we truly appreciate all of your efforts keeping your kids logged in and engaged.
I’ve received a number of emails asking what families can do to help support Logan as we navigate this latest surge of COVID cases. While our staffing looks strong right now, we know that this latest variant is highly contagious and has the potential to severely impact our ability to safely run school. Therefore, I am asking our Logan families to do everything they can to keep our Logan community healthy. Specifically, I am asking all families to help us keep the doors open by doing the following:
Prioritize COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters for every eligible person in your household
AAPS strongly encourages vaccinations for all members of your household who are eligible to receive them. This includes children ages 5-18. AAPS has a number of vaccine clinics in the coming weeks (see below), and vaccines are widely available in our community. If you need help locating a vaccine, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Review good masking practices with your child before sending them to school tomorrow
The CDC recommends wearing multi-layer masks that completely cover the mouth and nose. Please remind your child to keep their mask over their nose and mouth except when eating or drinking. High filtration masks like a N95 or KN95 are also recommended. AAPS is trying to secure high filtration masks for our students, but if you have access to them at home, consider sending your child with one.
Monitor closely for COVID symptoms and keep your child home if they emerge
Please keep your child home if they aren’t feeling well, especially if they are experiencing any of the symptoms described in our daily pre-screening document.
There is nothing I want more than to keep our doors open and in-person school running. Let’s work together as a school community to make this happen!
I have a few other announcements that I’m including in this Weekly Update:
In-District Transfer Window

The first round of the IDT application window opens on January 10th. At the elementary level, only families applying for Young 5s can apply during this first window. In-district transfer is for families who live in the Ann Arbor Public Schools attendance area but wish to send their child to a school outside their homeschool’s attendance area.

This window will include all other grade levels.
AAPS Vaccination Clinics
AAPS is thrilled to be able to offer four more vaccine clinics for AAPS students that will include the booster shot for students 12-15 years old, as approved by the CDC this week. All clinics will offer the Pfizer vaccine.These clinics will be held at Pioneer High School in the school cafeteria. Please enter at the Clock Tower entrance off Stadium Blvd.
Registration is required as we are allotted a specific number of vaccines by MDHHS whose contractor administers the vaccine. You will not receive a confirmation when you register, but if the registrations are closed you will receive a notice that your registration is unable to be processed.
We will send a notification the day before the clinic as a reminder to all who have registered.
