Young 5s/Kindergarten Round Up - NEW DATE
We have rescheduled our Young5s/Kindergarten Round Up for Wednesday, February 26 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 wit.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 about the new date if you know any families planning to attend Logan next year.
2025 LaFontaine Teacher of the Year Nominations
The Teacher of the Year Program recognizes the great contribution teachers make in Washtenaw County and to the learning community. This award recognizes and honors teacher experience. It does not attempt to select the "best" teacher; but rather, to identify, from among many outstanding teachers, one teacher to serve as a visible and vocal representative of what is best in the profession.
The LaFontaine family wishes to honor the amazing teachers within Washtenaw County and recognize them for their hard work and efforts they put in every single school year. The Teacher of the Year will receive a $5,000 cash award toward classroom expenses or continuing education; the second-place winner (Distinguished Teacher) will receive a $1,000 cash award towards classroom expenses and the third-place winner (Commendable Teacher) will receive a $500 cash award towards classrooms expenses.
If you’d like to nominate a Logan teacher, please submit nominations for the 2025 LaFontaine Teacher of the Year Award by completing this form by THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2025

Logan’s Office Needs Pants and Leggings
We are running low on extra pants and leggings in the office. If your kids have pants they’ve outgrown, consider donating to Logan. We are looking for sizes 5-16. Please do not send jeans or other structured pants. Sweatpants and leggings work best. Thanks in advance!

Nutrislice AAPS Menu Platform Disabled
AAPS, working closely with the local Chartwells K12 Food Service, has disabled the Nutrislice menu platform due to errors in nutritional information caused by an upgrade to the platform. Rather than display incorrect nutritional information on the Nutrislice platform, AAPS and the local Chartwells team have decided to post weekly PDFs of the menus until the Nutrislice platform is fixed. You can review the menus for next week here.
We know nutritional information is vital to many of our students' dietary needs, so Chartwells Registered Dietitian Sarah Mason has been working closely with district nurses to ensure the nutritional information is updated weekly. If you have urgent concerns, please contact Sarah Mason at masons@aaps.k12.mi.us or 734-460-1994.
