Dear Logan Families,
What a wintery few days! I hope your kids enjoyed their snow day. It looks like we still have some cold days ahead of us. I continue to send reminders to make sure you send your children with appropriate winter weather clothes. We will go outside as much as we can.

Please Join Us for NAAPID 2026! All Families Welcome!
Monday, February 9 is National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID). Founded by Joe Dulin, former principal of Roberto Clemente High School, NAAPID was a call to action for African American Families. Today, NAAPID has been expanded to include all families and is the day we celebrate the importance of the role of parents in each child's education. On this day more than others, we invite all parents and adult family members to visit Logan Elementary. According to Dulin, “Education is the key to success and parents are educators' greatest allies." Please consider spending all or some portion of your day with the Logan Leopards on NAAPID!
Permanent Food Pantry at Logan!
We have moved our Logan food pantry to a more permanent location so that we can maintain this resource for families and the community. We now have two options to access food.
Food pantry cabinet inside the main entrance, across from the main office. Can be accessed during school hours.
Food pantry cabinet outside the building, by the front doors. Can be accessed at any time.
Both pantries are available to anyone who would benefit from extra food support. You will be warmly welcomed, no questions asked! Some items are kept in plastic bins to protect from rodents. We ask that you please make sure these are fully closed when you are done shopping.
A huge thank you to our student council who will be helping to maintain these pantries. We will monitor supplies and send donation requests to the school community for any items we are running low on.
Please reach out to Mrs. Gleason with any questions.
Upcoming NWEA Testing — Schedule Update
Some teachers adjusted their Winter NWEA testing schedules because of the recent snow days. Classroom teachers will notify families directly if your child’s testing day or time has changed. All other testing details and tips shared last week still apply. Please ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep, a healthy breakfast, and arrives on time. Thank you in advance for your support.

New Logan ES @ Clague News - January 2026
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.
Current Work, Weather Permitting:
Utility work continues, including water main work which is approximately 75% done.
Structural steel installation will be wrapping up this month.
Masonry is ongoing.
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) installation is ongoing.
Work on the Geothermal Heating, Cooling & Ventilation system continues and is expected to take about 1-2 more months.
Drilling crews typically operate from 7am to 7pm Monday through Saturday, within the City of Ann Arbor Noise Ordinance.
Coming Up:
Students and staff at Logan will have an opportunity to sign the final beam, leading up to a “Topping Out” milestone when the final and highest beam is raised into place at the new Logan Elementary.
Current Clague vehicle traffic patterns are identified below:
Two-way traffic is now accessible from Nixon Road.
Entry is no longer available from Bluett Road due to construction.
Right turn only conditions:
Exiting the Clague driveway onto Nixon Road will be right turn only.
If travelling South on Nixon Road, there is no left turn into the Clague driveway. Instead, please continue travelling South past the school and use the first roundabout to travel back North on Nixon Road and turn right into the Clague driveway.
These conditions are anticipated to be in effect through the Spring of 2026.
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.
