New Resource Room Teacher at Logan
I am thrilled to welcome back a familiar face to the Logan community! Rose Brooks is returning to Logan Elementary as our new Resource Room teacher. She will be taking over for Ms. Havasi who, as you know, resigned in January. Many of you may remember Ms. Brooks from her previous time at Logan having served in a variety of roles including as a teacher in our self contained program and as a resource room teacher before stepping away to welcome her first child. We are thrilled to have her back, bringing her expertise and passion for supporting all learners.
Spring After-School Classes
AAPS Rec & Ed is excited to offer several after-school classes focused on fun, learning, movement, and discovery. Registration opens at 10am on Tuesday, March 11th! Click on each class ID# below or visit www.aarecedonline.com. Scholarships are available! Please call (734) 994-2300 ext. 0 for assistance.

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!
New Logan ES @ Clague Campus - March 2025 News
To support construction of the new Logan Elementary School on the Clague Middle School campus, some tree felling will be necessary and starting in early to mid March. While this will be a noticeable change to the site as vegetation is removed and trees are coming down, AAPS values embodied carbon and is committed to environmental sustainability. To read more about AAPS’ efforts regarding tree salvaging, please follow this link.
Please note: Construction parking and construction access drives are for construction personnel only and to ensure safety, staff and parents should refrain from using construction parking and/or drives.
Emails will continue to be sent, to provide updates on campus activities.
A date for the new Logan Elementary School groundbreaking will be announced soon, stay tuned!
Please visit the Capital Program website www.A2SchoolsBond.org to learn more. To receive email updates on AAPS Capital Program projects, please sign up here.
This new elementary school is made possible by Bond and Sinking Funds. Ann Arbor Public Schools wishes to thank the Community for the continued support of the Capital Program Bond and Sinking Funds.
AAPS Capital Program’s objective is to transform the student learning experience with the goal of providing for the health, safety, and well-being of all students in high-quality, equitable, and environmentally sustainable schools.
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!

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
