Dear Logan Families,
Welcome back after Thanksgiving break! I hope your family enjoyed a restful holiday.
It’s hard to believe that it’s December already! In addition to the updates below, I’ve also updated the “Important Upcoming Dates” section with events through January. Please mark your calendars for upcoming activities and school closings.
In this Weekly Update, I’ve included important information about:
Logan Winterfest - Friday, December 12

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
Logan Winterfest - Friday, December 12
Logan PTSO has organized Winterfest, a fun evening of FREE outdoor ice skating and hot chocolate at Buhr Park Skating Rink!
PTSO will cover the costs for admissions, skate rental and a warm beverage from the Good Sense Coffee Truck parked on site.
Skating will be from 5:00 - 7:00PM. Skating will be on rotation like last year (first arrivals from 5:00 - 6:00PM, followed by the second group from 6:00 - 7:00PM) to avoid overcrowding.
Skate rentals will be on site and given on a first come, first serve basis. The number of skates may be limited, so bring your own pair of skates if you have them and limit your skate time to 30 minutes, if others are waiting to rent skates. Buhr Park recommends bringing an extra pair of thick socks in case you need to go up a size in skates. If you are a new skater, bringing and wearing a helmet is recommended (bike helmets work great).
Please note that this event is only for Logan families (non-logan siblings are included) and we cannot accommodate additional friends or family members.
Morning Arrival Reminder
As the temperatures continue to get colder, I wanted to remind everyone that you are not allowed to drop your student at school before 8:43 AM. We do not want children waiting outside for extended periods, and we do not have staff outside to supervise until then. If your child eats breakfast at school, they may arrive starting at 8:30 AM and go directly to breakfast. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you need to consistently drop your child off early, remember that we offer Before Care through Rec and Ed. Information about our Before Care and After Care programming can be found here.
Young 5s Enrollment Now Open
Enrollment for Young 5s is now open! Families who live in our attendance boundary can enroll anytime, and in‑district transfer (IDT) applications for Young 5s (for the 2026–27 school year) will be accepted during the transfer window: November 18, 2025 – January 6, 2026.
For details and to apply, visit: https://www.a2schools.org/about-aaps/new-enrollment
Please help us spread the word. Share this information with friends and neighbors who may have incoming Young 5s and kindergarten‑age children. If you have questions or need help with the application, please let us know. We’re happy to assist.
