Dear Logan Families,
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! If you are new to our school community, my name is Will Wright, and I am the principal here at Logan. I typically send a weekly newsletter to families with important information about our school and about our district. These emails usually come on Mondays, but I’m sending this one a little earlier so families have some advance notice of upcoming events. I am so excited to welcome the Logan community back for a new school year, and I can’t wait to see everyone!
In my first Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:
Logan Young 5s/Kindergarten Play Date
New Family Orientation - Tentative*
Welcome Back Meet and Greet
Class Placement Notifications
First Day of School
School Calendars
COVID-19 Policies for the 2022-2023 School Year
Important Upcoming Dates
I’ll have a lot more information to share in the coming days. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
Logan Young 5s/Kindergarten Play Date
Do you have a child joining Logan in the fall in Young 5s or Kindergarten? Come join fellow Y5/Kindergarten families for an informal play date at the Logan playground on Wednesday, August 17, 4:30pm-6:00pm.
Hosted by the Logan PTSO
New Family Orientation - Tentative*
New to Logan? Please join us on Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 3:45pm for a New Family Orientation. We will have a tour of the building, share some vital information about starting the year at Logan, and answer your questions. You will also have some time to meet other new families. Afterwards, you can join the whole school community for the Welcome Back Meet and Greet.
*This event is tentatively scheduled while we wait for updated guidance from the Washtenaw County Health Department and AAPS on COVID-19 mitigation policies (see below). I will notify families if we’re able to proceed with this event as soon as possible.
Welcome Back Meet and Greet
Please join us on Thursday, August 25, 2022 for our Welcome Back Meet and Greet. The event will take place from 4:30pm - 5:30pm on the Lower Elementary Playground. Come and meet your child’s teachers, see old and new friends, and enjoy a delicious popsicle!
Class Placement Notification
Class placement notifications will be sent via email on Tuesday, August 23, 2022. Notifications will go out in the evening. Please wait until Wednesday, August 24 to contact the Logan office if you do not receive your child’s class placement notification.
We take great care in creating balanced classes. We consider many variables when creating these classes, and we are confident these groupings will meet the needs of our students. If you feel that you need to discuss your child’s placement, we ask all families to complete the first two weeks of school before contacting me.
First Day of School
The first day of school is Monday, August 29, 2022. The first bell rings at 8:42am and school begins at 8:45am. We will dismiss at 3:48pm.
School Calendars
Families can review the district calendar on the district’s calendar page. Families can subscribe to Logan’s Community Calendar using this link. It is a Google calendar.
COVID-19 Policies for the 2022-2023 School Year
I am sure many in our community have questions about the COVID-19 mitigation policies that we’ll have in place for the coming school year. We anticipate that the Washtenaw County Health Department will be releasing updated preK-12 school guidance early next week. AAPS will then provide guidance to families based on these recommendations.
