Dear Logan Families, 

Happy Halloween to all of our Logan Leopards who celebrate! If your child is going trick-or-treating tonight, help them stay safe by reminding them to stay on the sidewalks and to cross the street at the corner, using traffic signals and crosswalks when available. I want them to have fun AND be safe! 

I also want to take this opportunity to thank our PTSO for planning such a fun Beats and Treats event! Thanks especially to our PTSO Beats and Treats coordinators, Tierra Jackson and April Weber! We had a great turnout, and I loved seeing all of the costumes. I hope you had as much fun as me! I took a lot of pictures. I’ll share them with teachers soon so they can share with families in their classes. 

In this Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:

• No School- Election Day

• Logan Picture Retakes

• Flu, Cold, and COVID Reminders

• Important Upcoming Dates

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

 Dear Logan Families, 

Our final fundraising numbers have come in from the Fun Run, and I am so thrilled to announce that we raised $21,213.25!!!! We far exceeded our goal! What is so exciting is that we had 60% total participation from the Logan community, and every classroom exceeded their goal. We are so grateful to the entire Logan community for your generosity. These funds go directly to our PTSO and will help fund field trips, assemblies, purchase classroom supplies and enrichment materials, and so much more! Money raised from the Fun Run will impact every single Logan student. Thank you to our PTSO for hosting this event! What a success!

Dear Logan Families, 

Happy first week of October! I hope you had a great weekend! This Wednesday is Count Day. All families should take a moment to read my message about Count Day below. 

In this Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:

• Student Count Day

• Free and Reduced Lunch Reminder

Student Count Day

As most of you know, Student Count Day in Michigan this year is Wednesday, October 5, 2022, which is also Yom Kippur, an important Jewish Holiday. Dr. Swift has sent several communications about this to families, and I want to reiterate to everyone that there is not any requirement for attendance on a single day to fulfill the official count. We track attendance over a multi week period to ensure all students are counted.  Students may miss the day for many appropriate reasons on Wednesday, and those who observe Yom Kippur should not have any concerns about not sending their children to school on Wednesday. If your child is going to be absent on Wednesday for any reason, we ask that you report the absence in advance. For families observing Yom Kippur, reporting the absence in advance will also prevent the school from calling you on the holiday. You can send an email to log_attendance@aaps.k12.mi.us or call the office. Thank you! 

Free and Reduced Lunch Reminder

Free and Reduced Lunch waivers from last year end on October 10th. Families must apply again this year to continue receiving Free and Reduced lunch. If you believe you may qualify, please apply. Even if you are unsure if your family qualifies, you should apply. More information including links to the application (available in multiple languages) can be found here.

Blogspot Family Letters

Did you know that the contents of these weekly updates are also published on a blog linked on the Logan webpage? This year, I’m going to begin pasting the link to this blog in my weekly updates as well. I encourage families to read the updates in blog format. The advantage to this format is that I can edit and modify the content of my weekly updates even after I publish the posts allowing me to correct errors when I make them. It also allows families to find all the information in one place without having to search your emails. I hope it is useful for the Logan community. Please bookmark the page and visit it as frequently as you’d like. Here’s the link.
