Logan Fun Run Reminder and Schedule 

Thank you to everyone who has donated to support our Logan PTSO. In the PTSO eBackpack, families will find detailed information about the Logan Fun Run, which is a key fundraiser for our PTSO. The money raised helps fund many exciting activities throughout the year, and I encourage all families to participate. Please take a moment to read through the details in the PTSO blog, and thank you in advance for your support!

The Fun Run will take place on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, and families are welcome to come cheer for your child(ren). The schedule for the day is below, so you can attend when your child is running. We hope to see you there!


  • 9:30 - 3rd

  • 10:00 - 1st and Kozlowski

  • 10:30- 2nd

  • 11:00- 5th

  • 11:30 - 4th and Baker 

  • 12:30 - Y5/K



Reminder About End-of-Day Pick Ups and Changes in Dismissal Plans

If you plan to pick up your child during school hours, please notify the school in advance via phone, email, or written notice. Children must be signed out in the office when picked up and can be signed back in if they return to school. Students will only be released to individuals listed in the student's emergency contacts. Please note that students will not be released to minors, including older siblings.

To minimize the loss of instructional time, students will be called to the office only when their parent/guardian arrives in the office, not before. Additionally, please refrain from signing out students after 3:30 pm.

If you need to change your child’s end-of-day plans (e.g., switching from riding the bus to parent pick-up), please inform both your child’s teacher and the main office before 3:00 pm.


ALL FAMILIES: Education Benefit Applications MUST to Be Completed

We kindly ask all families, regardless of income, to complete the Education Benefit Application (EBF) as soon as possible. Many families in the Logan community have not yet submitted this important form. The number of applications submitted directly impacts critical state funding for educational programs. If we do not receive enough EBF applications across the AAPS district, AAPS may lose essential funding for educational programs and staffing support.

Additionally, based on your submission, your child may qualify for various benefits such as Summer Food/EBT, athletic support, food assistance programs, Rec & Ed scholarships, and potential support for cable and internet. Learn more and complete the application here.

Library Volunteers Needed

Are you interested in volunteering in the Logan Library? Mrs. Rodriguez is looking for volunteers for all classes. If you are interested, please complete this short survey from Mrs. Rodriguez to let her know when you are available. 



Early Release Reminder

Tuesday, September 24, 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. There is no aftercare on Early Release Days. 



Special Education Millage on November Ballot

On November 5, 2024, voters will be asked to consider renewing a special education millage. If approved, the 12-year, 2.3826 mill renewal would cover unreimbursed special education costs. 

In Washtenaw County, more than 6,000 students, or 1-in-7 students, receive special education services, plus almost 900 additional children from birth to age three. In AAPS, one of every eight students receive special education services.

If the special education millage is approved:

  • It would help keep $57 million in unrestricted general funds across Washtenaw County available for programs and services that could benefit every student including $25.8 million for AAPS. This includes advanced placement coursework, improved learning environments, mental health supports, extracurricular activities, school safety, and more. 

  • Millage dollars would stay local! Washtenaw ISD would reimburse all local public school districts and local public school academies for their mandated special education costs, including AAPS. 

  • There would be no tax rate increase. The renewal would maintain an existing 2.3826 mil tax.

To learn more, you can review this presentation or contact Assistant Superintendent Office of Special EducationConcetta Lewis at lewisc@a2schools.org or calling 734-994-2318. You may also visit the Washtenaw ISD’s website at www.washtenawisd.org/SpecialEdRenewal or call 734-994-8100.
