Survey to Determine Demand for Before/After Care at Logan - Please complete!
Last week, I shared a survey with the Logan community from the Red & Ed department to help determine the demand for programming at Logan. I’ve included the same message below. I am asking all members of the Logan community to complete the survey if you would make use of before/after care programming at Logan.
At Rec & Ed, we understand how important child care is to working families in AAPS. We have been working hard to hire staff and re-open our Before/After care sites, and we aim to add at least one new site in Fall 2024. We are surveying a few school communities about their level of interest in a Rec & Ed After Care program.
This After Care Interest Survey is to determine the level of interest at Logan for a Rec & Ed After Care program.
Please fill out this form by April 25, 2024. We will email you an update the week of May 13 using the email you provide below. Here's a link to the After Care Interest Survey
Early Release Reminder
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 is an Early Release Day. Students will be dismissed at 1:00pm. All families must ensure that they have a plan for their children at the end of the day on early release days.
Accessible Parking Spaces
We have observed several instances of people using the accessible parking spaces during arrival and dismissal who do not have the appropriate tags on their license plate or hanging on their mirror. We have a number of families and students who really need access to these spots. Please do not park in the accessible parking spaces unless you need to and have the appropriate documentation. If you do not have an accessible tag prominently displayed, you will be asked to move. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Recess Supply Request
We are running low on recess supplies again. If you have extra soccer balls, basketballs, or footballs that you would like to donate, please send them to school. We’ll add them to the recess supply bins.
Class Placement Parent Input Form - Due April 26
Each Spring, our staff works to create class lists for the next school year. We consider many factors when we are developing class lists including: academic and social factors, students who require additional support (ex: ELL, Special Education Services, Reading Intervention,) ethnicity, and gender. Additionally, we seek input from families to help inform our decisions. Please use the linked form to give us input about your child’s placement next year. ALL families in grades Y5-4 should complete the form. In addition to getting input about class placement, we gather information about who is returning and who is not. Please know that we value your input and want to hear from everyone. However, our primary obligation is to develop class lists that are balanced and will best serve ALL students. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any specific placements or requests. Please submit your input by April 26.
