Please take a moment this week to connect with a staff member who has had a positive impact on your child and let them know that you appreciate them. They all deserve our appreciation!

Building AAPS Connections, Community & Awareness - Seeking Campaign Advisory Committee Members
The Ann Arbor Public Schools is seeking advisory committee members to recommend, review and support a campaign to help build awareness, community and connections to retain and attract students to our schools.
The advisory group will consist of approximately 15 people who will support the AAPS Team in developing and implementing a campaign that will revitalize district enrollment. Anyone in the community is encouraged to apply, regardless of experience.
Marketing, public relations, graphic design and communication experience are a plus but not necessary. We are looking for current students, alumni, staff, parents/guardians and community members who are dedicated to the success of AAPS.
Click here to apply to the advisory group.
My Future Fund Account Update
AAPS is excited for our continued partnership with My Future Fund. Families should be on the lookout for their students’ My Future Fund Account login information via email on May 7th. Eligible 2nd-6th grade students have FREE money in their accounts to jump start their savings for college and career training.
The My Future Fund program is operated by the Washtenaw Intermediate School District in collaboration with the Washtenaw County Government. Please visit myfuturefund.org for more information.
AAPS Summer Music Program - Fifth Grade Students Eligible
Registration is now open for the AAPS Summer Music Program for all levels of instrumental music students, incoming grades 6-12 in Washtenaw County. Please visit our website to learn more about the classes being offered this summer and how to register.
AAPS Freeman Spring Environmental Festival
Join the Freeman Environmental Youth Council between 1:00-3:30 pm on May 18th at the Freeman Environmental Education Center for an afternoon of fun and educational activities, trivia, art, native plants, high school student presentations and more. Elementary and middle school students should be accompanied by a parent/guardian and dress for the weather as there will be indoor and outdoor activities. Please RSVP here.
Lost and Found (With Photo)
Our lost and found is overflowing! If you see an item that belongs to your child, please send them to pick it up or feel free to stop by before school or after school to grab it.
In-District Transfer and School of Choice Window - Last Week to Apply
The second In-District Transfer (IDT) window and the first School of Choice (SOC) window is now open. Applications are being accepted from April 16-May 10. IDT is for families that live within the boundaries of the Ann Arbor Public School district but would like to attend a school that is not their zoned school. SOC is for families that live outside the boundaries of the Ann Arbor Public Schools but would like to school in the Ann Arbor District. More information can be found here.
Families who are currently enrolled at Logan do not need to apply. Only families who wish to attend a different school would need to apply. If you know any families who live outside our attendance area and wish to enroll at Logan, please let them know the IDT window is now open.
