 Dear Logan Families,

What a busy week we had! We had several field trips, our wonderful end of year band and orchestra concert, our third graders went to camp, and we completed our final fire drill of the year. We only have a few weeks of school left, but there's still so much packed into them! We're making the most of every moment as we head toward the end of this school year.

Logan Book Giveaway: Chapter Books Needed! 

We want every Logan student to head into summer with plenty of books to enjoy. Thanks to everyone who has already donated. 


We're looking for gently used children's books to distribute to our students. We are in particular need to chapter books. If you have books at home that your child has outgrown or finished, we'd love to give them a second life! Please drop off your donations by June 1. The book giveaway will take place on June 2 and 3, so students can fill their bags with stories to read all summer long.


Thank you for helping us foster a love of reading in our Logan community!



Hearing and Vision Screenings

Due to recent staffing changes within their Hearing and Vision Program, the Washtenaw County Health Department unfortunately is not able to conduct the Hearing and Vision screenings at Logan before the conclusion of the school year. The WCHD understands the importance of these screenings and apologizes for the inconvenience this may cause.

 

Families may still schedule free hearing and vision screenings with the WCHD program during the summer months. Additional information can be found on their website here.  In addition, depending on staff availability, we may be able to provide screenings during summer school or other school-related summer events.

 

Schools impacted by these cancellations will be prioritized as we begin scheduling for the fall screening season.


Visit the WCHD Hearing and Vision page for more information.

Dear Logan Families,


Last week, several staff members and I visited two schools in Portage that were designed by the same architects building our new Logan Elementary. What we saw was inspiring: beautiful, functional spaces where our staff will be able to continue the great work they do and where students will be able to thrive. The Portage staff shared so much about their experience moving to a new building. They shared how the new building itself changed their school culture in really positive ways, with students taking ownership of their spaces. While nothing is perfect, their enthusiasm and pride in their new home made me really excited about moving into the new space. Stay tuned as we begin preparing Logan for this exciting next chapter!


I also want to send a huge thank you to our Logan PTSO for organizing such a wonderful Staff Appreciation Week! From the in-flight breakfast cart on Monday to the themed activities throughout the week, the "PLANE Awesome" celebration was such fun! Your generosity and creativity made the week special for our teachers and staff. Thank you for everything you do to support Logan!
