Dear Logan Families,
I’m excited to share some wonderful highlights from two recent events here at Logan!
First, we had a fantastic visit from the Leslie Science and Nature Center. Students learned about cold-blooded animals, and each class had the opportunity to meet some animals including a turtle, lizard, and snake. Here are some photos of our visitors!
We also want to congratulate all of the students who participated in our MLK Day assembly. Their performances were inspiring and beautifully honored the legacy of Dr. King. A huge thank you to Ms. Joslin, Logan’s Music Teacher, for her dedication and effort in helping the students prepare for such a wonderful and meaningful program.
Additionally, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, our Logan community came together for a meaningful Service Day. Many families joined us in making blankets for the Ronald McDonald House and packing baskets for House N2 Home, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals transitioning from homelessness to stable housing. Thanks to all the families who volunteered their time and effort to make Service Day a success.
A special thank you to the Logan PTSO for their hard work in organizing both of these wonderful events. Your dedication and support truly make a difference in our community.

Early Release Reminder
Wednesday, January 29, 2025 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.
Young 5s/Kindergarten Round Up
As we enter 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 2025. 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 12, 2025 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 2025-2026 school-year, we hope to see you there! Please help us spread the word if you know any families planning to attend Logan next year.
