Dear Logan Families,
This morning’s school closure came as a bit of a surprise! As you may know, AAPS was informed of a water main break, prompting the closure of affected schools to ensure a safe and sanitary environment for students and staff. The city is actively working to resolve the issue, and we will keep you updated as more information becomes available. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.
This will be my last newsletter before Spring Break. I hope you all enjoy a restful week off! School will resume on Monday, March 31.
This Weekly Update includes information about:
Pi(e) Day at Logan!
Clague Softball on Upper Elementary Playground - Starting April 7
AAPS Job Fair
Please consider supporting the PTOC $20 for $30k Fundraiser
AAPS 2025-2025 Enrollment
2025 LaFontaine Teacher of the Year Nominations - LAST CHANCE!
Important Upcoming Dates
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
Pi(e) Day at Logan!
We had a great time celebrating Pi(e) Day last Friday! Coach Natalie spent the day teaching all Logan students about Pi, and thanks to the generosity of all of our Logan families, all of our students had a piece of pie at lunchtime. Thank you to Coach Natalie for helping facilitate the day, to all of our volunteers who helped serve pie, and to the Logan PTSO for helping to host another great Logan event!
Clague Softball on Upper Elementary Playground - Starting April 7
Starting April 7, the Clague Softball team will be using Logan’s Upper Elementary playground for their practices. Practices will begin at after Clague dismissal (3:03pm).This change is necessary because construction on "New Logan" is beginning, and Clague’s after-school sports activities have been displaced due to the construction. Families should note that Logan students will not be on the playground during Clague’s practice times. Additionally, some field maintenance will take place over spring break to prepare the fields for softball. We appreciate your understanding and support!

Please consider supporting the PTOC $20 for $30k Fundraiser
The AAPS PTO Council has launched their 2025 $20 for $30k Fundraiser. PTO income varies across schools in the district with a range of $40 per student per year to $238 per student per year. PTO income is lower at schools with more economically disadvantaged students and at more diverse schools, compounding inequity for AAPS students and families. Please consider donating $20 (or more) to help increase Ann Arbor Title I schools’ per pupil spending. If you can’t donate at this time, help spread the word about the fundraiser in our community. Join the effort to create equitable educational opportunities for every child in Ann Arbor!
AAPS 2025-2026 Enrollment
Neighborhood pre-enrollment is available for new students for the 2025-26 academic year! If you know someone who is new to the neighborhood, please encourage them to enroll!
Applications to AAPS schools, including Logan, are also being accepted for In-District Transfers (IDT) and Non-Resident Children of Employees (NRCE)between February 25 - March 31, 2025. Schools and grades with space availability are posted at the link above. Approvals are based on space availability and are not processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Neighborhood pre-enrollment and the IDT/NRCE applications are available here.
2025 LaFontaine Teacher of the Year Nominations - LAST CHANCE!
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
