Logan Fun Run Reminder and Schedule 

Thank you to everyone who has donated to support our Logan PTSO. In previous newsletters, I’ve shared information about the Logan Fun Run, which is a key fundraiser for our PTSO. The money raised helps fund many exciting activities throughout the year, and I encourage all families to participate. Please take a moment to read through the details in my previous Weekly Updates as well in the PTSO Updates, and thank you in advance for your support!

The Fun Run will take place on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, and families are welcome to come cheer for your child(ren). The schedule for the day is below, so you can attend when your child is running. We hope to see you there!

Schedule: 

  • 9:30 - 3rd

  • 10:00 - 2nd

  • 10:30 - Y5/K and Kozlowski

  • 11:00- 5th

  • 11:30 - 4th

*Students in Ms. Baker’s class will join their grade level peers. 


AAPS Breakfast & Lunch Change October 1, 2025

Preliminary reports out of Lansing indicate a deal has been made on the State of Michigan budget, including the School Aid Fund.  At this time, specific details have not been released. As previously communicated, if the state budget does not cover school meals for students, AAPS will begin charging for breakfast and lunch starting Wednesday, October 1, 2025. If the state does pass a budget before October 1, we will notify families immediately of any changes.


Starting October 1, 2025, here are the proposed prices:


Breakfast: Elementary $2.25 per meal Middle & High Schools $2.25 per meal

Lunch: Elementary $3.75 per meal Middle & High Schools $4.50 per meal


Education Benefit Form (EBF)

It is important for ALL AAPS families to fill out the Education Benefit Form (EBF) to check for qualification for free and reduced meals:

Education Benefit Form

The EBF form also helps AAPS qualify for important additional funding for instructional staff, social workers, counselors, nurses and technology.


Meal Magic

Families should register in the Meal Magic AAPS Family Portal to pay for meals. This will ensure that students have funds available to purchase breakfast and lunch.

If the school aid budget includes financial support for universal school meals, AAPS will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch to all AAPS students. 


M-STEP Results Coming Home

Families of 4th and 5th grade students will find M-STEP test results in this week’s Friday Folders. These reports share information from the assessments students completed in the spring of last school year. Please remember that these scores are just one measure of your child’s learning and growth. If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher. We are here to support you and your student.

Logan's Fun Run

Each fall, Logan participates in the Fun Run, a fundraising event that helps raise enough money for the PTSO to provide events, learning opportunities, and enrichments throughout the year. For the next few weeks, we will be asking each family to give what they can to help us reach our school goal of $24K. On October 8, we will celebrate our success with the outdoor Fun Run event, featuring Kona Ice and a DJ.


Please get started by following the steps below. Each child will get a water bottle sticker just for registering!


  1. Register or log in to your Parent Dashboard and customize your student's page: Visit www.getmovinfundhub.com and use the School Identifier: 5d31e6ebc738c

  1. Make a donation to help your child (and their classroom) reach their individual goals! Final donation date is Oct 17, 2025! Children who reach their goal of $75 will earn an additional prize of a backpack charm.

  2. Share your child's page with friends and family! Text, email, or post on social media – you can do it right from your phone. This makes the biggest impact!


A big thank you for our community sponsors - Edwards and Schaefer Orthodontics, SBK Orthodontics, Gordon Meemic Insurance, and Hierank Marketing Solutions!

September 2025 Community Resources Update


New Logan ES @ Clague News - September 2025

To support construction of the new Logan Elementary, the following activities will take place on the Clague Middle School campus, and are referenced on the site plan below. To see all of the information related to this project in one place, please click here to visit the New Logan Elementary page and feel free to bookmark the page to revisit, as content will continue to be posted.

 

New Clague vehicle traffic patterns on campus, starting Monday, September 22, are identified in blue below. Reminder: The entry is now accessible from Bluett Road. Entry is no longer available from Nixon Road.

 

In Progress Activities, Weather Permitting:

  • Ongoing utility work.

  • Site grading and excavating for foundations continues.

  • The construction manager will be installing Geothermal Heating, Cooling & Ventilation system as early as the first week of September, which represents a change from the posted schedule online.

    • AAPS has an emerging opportunity, because of contractor and equipment availability, at the Logan/Clague site to significantly move up timing on the geothermal drilling operation from Winter 2026 to September 2025. Geothermal is critical to the mechanical system start up as the system relies heavily on the geothermal bore field, this will allow more time to commission the HVAC system before school opens. 

    • Additionally, it may help AAPS turn over some play fields, outdoor areas, etc. to Clague MS sooner than anticipated.

    • This work can be done without creating significant disruption to school operations, similar to the bore field that was recently completed at Mitchell ES while summer school was in session. 

    • Drilling crews typically operate from 7am to 7pm Monday through Saturday, within the City of Ann Arbor Noise Ordinance and is expected to take about 5-6 months.

 

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.

 

 

 

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.

 

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.

Curriculum Night – Tonight!

Social Media Posts While Volunteering at Logan

We are so grateful to everyone who has been volunteering at Logan. I wanted to send a quick reminder about the use of social media while volunteering. While we love that you capture special moments at school, please be mindful of student and family privacy. If you post photos on social media, make sure that only your own child is featured, unless you have permission from other families to share their children’s images. Thank you for helping us keep our community safe and respectful!


Discontinuing Universal Free Meals

As of October 1, 2025, AAPS will no longer be able to provide universal free meals for all students if the state aid budget is not passed or is passed without universal breakfast and lunch funding.  Please know that this difficult decision was not made lightly. We remain hopeful that state legislators will soon pass a budget that includes the Michigan School Meals program—maintaining free breakfast and lunch for all students.

 

All AAPS families are strongly encouraged to complete the annual Education Benefit Form (EBF) to ensure that all free and reduced-price lunch eligible students are identified. The form can be completed electronically in the AAPS Family Portal, which you can log into here. Hard copies of the Education Benefit Form are available in your school office.

 

Please review the full message on this food service change here.



WISD Countywide CTE Millage

On November 4, 2025, voters residing within the Washtenaw Intermediate School District’s service area will be asked to consider a 1 mill tax that would support the expansion of Career Technical Education (CTE) learning experiences from preschool through high school graduation.

 

CTE helps students understand why they learn what they learn from PreK-12, and it opens doors to college, careers and beyond.

 

If a CTE millage is approved by voters in November, students in preschool, elementary, middle and high school would benefit from new programs and expansion of existing programs. Washtenaw County’s CTE framework would span from PreK-12, with age-appropriate experiences that build on each other as students grow and learn.

 

To learn more about the proposal, visit www.washtenawisd.org/ctemillage. The WISD is hosting community information sessions 

  • Tuesday, September 16th at 5:30 PM - Virtual via Zoom Webinar (register)

  • Wednesday, September 24th at 5:30 PM - In-person at Washtenaw ISD (register) 

  • Thursday, October 9th at 5:30 PM - In-person at Washtenaw ISD (register)
