Dear Logan Families,
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! If you are new to our school community, my name is Will Wright, and I am the principal here at Logan. I am so excited to welcome the Logan community back for a new school year, and I can’t wait to see everyone!
Below you’ll find information about the launch of our school year. I typically send a weekly newsletter to families with important information about our school and district on Mondays. These newsletters are posted in blog format, and I encourage families to bookmark a link to the blog webpage. 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.
In my first Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:
Logan Young 5s/Kindergarten Play Date
New Family Orientation
Welcome Back Meet and Greet
Class Placement Notifications
First Day of School
School Calendars
School Breakfasts and Lunches: Free for Everyone!
Family Handbook
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 16, 4:30pm-5:30pm. Please refer to the PTSO flier for further details.
New Family Orientation
New to Logan? Please join us on Thursday, August 24, 2023 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.
Welcome Back Meet and Greet
Please join us on Thursday, August 24, 2023 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 22, 2023. 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 28, 2023. 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.
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!
Logan Family Handbook
We publish a Family Handbook every year. It is full of information for families, and I ask everyone to take some time to read it. It is posted on our website, and it is our hope that it answers many of your questions. Feel free to reach out to me or your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
