Early Release Reminder
Tuesday, March 4, 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.
Rotary Fights Child Hunger Food Donation Drive
AAPS is partnering with the Ann Arbor Rotary Club to assist our local food bank, Food Gatherers, in its Annual Fight Child Hunger Donation Campaign. It will run this year from Monday, March 3rd, to Friday, March 14th, 2025.
Hunger is real in Washtenaw County. More of our friends and neighbors are facing food insecurity than at the height of the pandemic. Our local food pantries are struggling to keep up with the increased demand. Please join us in our efforts to eliminate hunger in our community.
Logan is inviting staff, students, school groups, families and community members to join us in this campaign by participating in the food donation drive. Boxes are located outside the main office. Please consider donating to help fight hunger in Washtenaw County!
Here’s a list of ideas for nonperishable items accepted for the food drive: peanut butter, canned meats, hearty soups/stews, canned fruit, canned vegetables, tuna, beans, boxed mac & cheese, dried pasta, canned pasta sauce, Ensure, baby food, formula, diapers, personal care items, soap/shampoo. Please no glass bottles.
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
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 and Spring Weather Reminder
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!
We also encourage families to keep a change of clothes in your child’s backpack and to send boots/extra shoes. As the weather warms, our playground can get muddy!
