Meet the Office Staff
Last week, I introduced our new teachers and paraprofessionals. This week, I’d like to introduce our office staff. I am joined in the office by our office professional, Christy Landefeld and our Teacher Clerk, Sarah Jenkins. Sarah is a familiar face at Logan as she has served as a building sub for several years. She is transitioning to a new role this year as our Teacher Clerk after Geralyn Kowalski retired last year. We also work closely with our school nurse, Emily Ferreira, who is at Logan twice per week. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I’ve listed each of our email addresses below. When emailing us about attendance, please use the Logan attendance email address.
Principal: Will Wright, wrightw@aaps.k12.mi.us
Office Professional: Christy Landefeld, landefeldc@aaps.k12.mi.us
Teacher Clerk: Sarah Jenkins, jenkinss@aaps.k12.mi.us

Driveline and Dismissal
Driveline numbers were sent out last week, and new families will receive a hangtag with your Driveline number by the end of the week. Returning families can use the same tag from last year. Driveline is a dismissal program we use at Logan to ensure a safe dismissal. We ask all families to read through our dismissal procedures in the Logan Families Handbook. A few key reminders:
Buses park next to the lower elementary playground. Parents should NOT enter the back parking lot. There is no car drop off or pick up in the back parking lot.
Parents picking up can wait in the car line. If you wait in the car line, you MUST stay in your car. If you wish to meet your child at their classroom, you must park in the Logan parking lot or in the street on Traver Blvd.
Parents waiting in the car line should pull all the way forward. Keep pulling forward as cars in front of you exit. Do not leave space in front of you so we can fit as many cars in the pick up line as possible. Do not load until you reach the front steps.
Only cross in the crosswalk and wait for our staff to stop the cars. Please do not walk between cars with your kids.
Remember, right turn only when exiting Logan. AAPD does patrol the area and we don’t want anyone getting a ticket.
BE PATIENT! Our priority is safety. Our staff are there to help ensure a smooth and safe dismissal. Please listen to them.
Volunteering at Logan
Interested in volunteering at Logan? We’d love to have you! But first, all adults must complete a background check prior to volunteering at Logan. This includes working in our classrooms, helping out in the lunchroom, supporting in the library, and going on field trips. You must complete the background check every school year, even if you completed it in a previous year. Please click on the link below for directions.
We’re Hiring: Become a Lunchroom Supervisor!
We are looking for more people to work in our lunchroom as lunchroom supervisors. This is a paid, hourly position. Lunchroom staff work two hours per day supervising during lunch and recess. It’s a great way to spend some time with the kids during the day. Even if you can’t work five days per week, we’re still interested in talking to you! If you’re interested in learning more about this position, please contact Mr. Wright.
