Young 5s/Kindergarten Round Up: THIS WEEK!!!
As we get ready for the new year, it’s not too early to start thinking about some of our youngest students who will start their AAPS experience as kindergarten and young fives students in the fall of 2024. Kindergarten Round-Up events are scheduled throughout the month of February and March at all elementary schools and K-8 buildings. We are excited to share with families the fun that awaits your children, meet our school staff, learn about the programs, the enrollment process and get answers to your questions.
Logan’s Round Up will be on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 from 6:00pm until 7:30pm. This event is designed for both children and adults. Families will have time to learn about our programs at Logan while children get to spend time in our classrooms with Logan’s incredible staff. If you plan to enroll a child in either Young 5s or Kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school-year, we hope to see you there!
No School Reminder
All AAPS schools are closed on Tuesday, February 27 for Election Day. There will be no school and families should plan accordingly.

2024 Ann Arbor Rotary Club Fights Child Hunger Food Drive
Each spring, the Ann Arbor Rotary Club partners with Food Gatherers in a campaign to fight child hunger in our community. The AAPS is pleased to continue our participation in the 2024 drive, beginning Monday, March 4 - Friday, March 15.
The 2024 drive will include collecting nonperishable food at participating AAPS buildings. Food donations are always appreciated and provide an excellent way to involve our students in this vital effort.
Staff and community members are encouraged to make financial donations, as Food Gatherers is able to use their bulk buying power to efficiently distribute more food in our community. For every $5 donated, Food Gatherers can provide 10 meals to our hungry neighbors.
The 2024 Rotary Fights Child Hunger donation drive goal is to gather food and funds to provide 100,000 meals.
Donations of $25 or more made through the Rotary drive will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. A gift of $25 provides enough food for 100 meals when you include the match!
Please consider donating either non perishable food items or making a financial donation to food gathers. You can donate directly to Logan’s team page here. Donations made to team/individual pages also qualify for matching funds.
Thank you in advance for your contributions in support of our local community.
