Dear Logan Families,
Only one more week until we launch the 23-24 school year! This week, our staff is busy setting up classrooms and preparing for the arrival of our Logan Leopards. I have a few new updates for this week’s Weekly Update, but many important details were shared in last week’s family letter as well. If you missed it, please scroll down to the next blog entry and review last week's update as well.
In this Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:
Introducing New Logan Staff
New Theater Program at Logan
PTO Welcome Back Breakfast
Reminder: School Breakfasts and Lunches: Free for Everyone!
Important Upcoming Dates
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Introducing New Logan Staff
Logan’s staff remains very stable. Logan families will see many familiar faces this year. However, we had to say farewell to a few of our colleagues this summer. We say farewell to
Shannon Boardman, Logan Resource Room Teacher
Caley McMillan, Logan ELL Teacher
Lori Carano, Logan TA
We wish each of them luck in their new endeavors!
We welcome the following new staff members to Logan.
Elizabeth Pointer, Third Grade Teacher
Sarah Taylor, Logan ELL Teacher
Amanda Schaft, Logan Resource Room Teacher
Bridgit Cook, Theater Teacher
New Theater Program at Logan
I am thrilled to share that Logan will be adding a theater special this year! Students in grades kindergarten through third grade will take theater as one of their specials classes. These classes will be taught by Bridgit Cook who is splitting her time between Logan and Thurston. I’m very excited about this opportunity for our Logan students!
PTSO Welcome Back Coffee
Families are invited to join us for a welcome back coffee on the first day of school, Monday, August 28, immediately after drop off. It will be an opportunity to meet other families as well as some of our PTSO representatives. We hope to see you there!
Reminder: School Breakfasts and Lunches: Free for Everyone!
I am excited to share some great news regarding school meals for the upcoming 2023-24 school year in the Ann Arbor Public Schools. Recently, the state passed its budget, allocating $160 million to provide free school breakfast and lunch for all students throughout the school year. This means that breakfast and lunch will be free for all students this year. As part of the new law, ALL Logan families must complete the application for free and reduced meals.
****Regardless of income, we ask all parents and guardians to complete the application which can be found here. Hard copies will be sent home in the opening day packets and we’ll have copies of the application in the office as well. Completing the application takes a few minutes; you only need one per household. Thanks in advance!
