Early Release Reminder
Wednesday, December 6, 2023 is an Early Release Day. Students will be dismissed at 1:00pm. All families must ensure that they have a plan for their children at the end of the day on early release days.
Winterfest Invitation
Last year, our Logan PTSO hosted the first ever Logan Winterfest, and it was such fun! The Logan community gathers at Buhr Park and we spend the evening ice skating and drinking hot chocolate, and loved i! I’m looking forward to it again this Friday! PTSO covers the cost of admission, skate rentals, and a hot beverage! I hope you’ll be able to join us for this great community event. Details are included below and in the PTSO eBackpack.
Supporting Logan Families Through Winter Giving
Logan serves many families. Some in our community are facing significant financial hardship. We have families that struggle with food insecurity, housing instability, and lack of access to items like clothing, school supplies, and toys. We are planning to support those families in need through our Winter Giving Campaign. During this campaign, we are asking for warm winter gear, clothes, gifts for the holiday season, and gift cards. Items are listed on an Amazon wish list which can be found here. You can learn more about our Winter Giving Campaign by clicking this link.
Thank you to Logan’s Social Worker, Maia Gleason-Teener for organizing these supports and thank you in advance to the Logan community for your generosity.
Supporting Title 1 Schools Through Winter Giving - More Ways to Give!
In addition to supporting Logan families through a winter giving campaign (see above), Logan’s PTSO has organized a winter giving campaign to support other schools in need as well. We want to ensure that ALL AAPS children are supported this year. You can learn more about the items we’re collecting here.
Winter Clothing Reminder
Students will go outside everyday as long as the temperatures are above zero degrees and it is not raining. Please make sure your child comes dressed for the weather. We recommend layers! If possible, students should have jackets, snow pants, hats, gloves, and boots. I also recommend keeping an extra set of dry clothing in their backpacks!
School Closure Reminder
As we move into winter, I want to remind everyone of our school closure procedures. AAPS will determine if/when schools need to close due to inclement weather. If the decision is made to close schools, AAPS will notify all students, staff, and families of any change in school day plans as far in advance as possible to support our families in making necessary arrangements. As soon as a weather-related school decision is made, announcements will be made via school messenger (or automated phone and email system). Notifications will also go out on social media and through media outlets.
Families who have moved or changed phone or email contacts should reach out to the Logan’s Main Office to ensure your contact information is updated. You can reach the office at 734-994-1807.
