LOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE – 2023/24 - Update #5 (Sept 20, 2023) 

-------------  GENERAL  -------------

Campaign Manager Position: Logos School is searching for a full-time campaign manager to manage the details of a multi-year capital campaign for a new campus on the land that Logos already owns. If you are a highly organized and motivated individual who would represent our school well, please see this listing for more information. 

Looking to volunteer?  We can use you!  A full list of Volunteer Opportunities at Logos is online here.  It’s updated regularly. 

Quarter Zips!:  The link to purchase uniform-approved quarter zips is located on our website.  You will find the link on our Uniforms page.

-------------  ELEMENTARY  -------------

Enrollment for 24-25: Our Preschool and Kindergarten classes are quickly filling up for next year. If you have a little person that you would like to have start Logos, apply soon. 

Class Pictures at South: This Friday is our class photo day at South. Students will need to wear the dress uniform from either this year or last year.

Preschool-1st Midterms:  Your child’s teacher will be sending a brief, mid-quarter assessment for you to complete with your child at home.  You will also receive your child’s midterm report.  Please sign and return the bottom portion of the midterm; the report is yours to keep.  The assessment and signed portion of the midterm are due Wednesday, September 27th. Thank you! 

2nd-6th Grade Midterms: A blank midterm form will come home this week. Please log on to FACTS and help your child complete it. Our goal is to encourage families to check out FACTS and to help students use the midterm to plan for improvement in any areas that may need work. Please return these forms by next Wednesday, September 27th.

-------------  SECONDARY ------------

Secondary Study Tip:  If your student is in danger of failing a class, teachers will notify you no later than Tuesday, October 3.  In that email, teachers will provide helpful advice to you on things your students can do to bring up their quarter grade.   However, if you suspect that your student is struggling, please stay abreast of the grade book through the FACTS Parent Portal and reach out to teachers early for those helpful tips.

Food Containers Left at School: It is a great thing for students to share a cake with classmates to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion.  However, we have had a number of nice food containers and baking pans left in the kitchen overnight with leftover food residue.  Please have your students take these items home the same day to prevent unwanted guests in the school.  Food containers left in the school overnight will be placed in the trash. 

------------- ACTIVITIES  ------------

FREE PIZZA - Thursday Night Volleyball:  Wear any Logos gear to the Logos vs. Kamiah VB games and enjoy free Wooster’s pizza!  Any fans wearing Logos gear can enjoy free pizza while supplies last!  JV begins at 6:00 and varsity at 7:30.  Pack the gym and enjoy some delicious pizza provided by Canon Press, EARN, and Woosters!  

Football and Beauty and the Beast: The cast of Beauty and the Beast will be selling chili, cornbread, and ice cream at Friday night’s football game.  Come support the undefeated football team and your fall varsity drama production.  The performances will be October 4-7th.  You can avoid the long lines at the show and purchase advance tickets for Beauty and the Beast at the game.

LOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE – 2023/24 – Update #4 (Sept 13, 2023) 

-------------  GENERAL  -------------

Campaign Manager Position: Logos School is searching for a full-time campaign manager to manage the details of a multi-year capital campaign for a new campus on the land that Logos already owns. If you are a highly organized and motivated individual who would represent our school well, please see this listing for more information.

Family Friday: Our first half-day will be this Friday, September 15.  More info: LINK

  • Logos East dismissal at 11:40 (kindergarten and morning preschool).  Friday afternoon, the preschool section will not meet.  
  • Logos South (1st & 2nd grades) dismissal: 1st at 11:50, 2nd at 12:00
  • Logos West Elementary (3rd-6th grades) dismissed at 12:15
  • Secondary dismissal at 12:30, after the assembly (all parents are welcome and encouraged to attend the assembly; see details below)

Picture Retake Day (ALL CAMPUSES)!:  The picture retake day for all Logos campuses is scheduled for Friday, October 6th, from 7:30 a.m.-9:00 a.m. in the Logos West gym.

Lost and Found at Logos West:  A great many items are added each week to our lost and found (located in the breezeway of the NW doors).  Please ensure your students regularly check the lost and found, as items left there for a week are moved to our “for sale” section.  Please note the prices (there have been changes) and payment options (Cash App accepted; a cash box is coming soon!) on the posted signs.  All proceeds go to the senior class, who maintain the lost and found. No payments will be accepted in the front office.

Homecoming!  Please join us for Saturday night's Homecoming game! Our Knights football team is undefeated; help cheer them on to a 4th win! Dinner sales benefit the football team: brats with kraut and chips ($7), bacon topped mac & cheese ($3), and apple cake with browned butter frosting ($3); and the freshman class will be selling hot drinks. Alumni: stop by the Logos Knights tent for a free alum t-shirt and dinner ticket! The gate opens at 6:00, dinner at 6:30, and kickoff at 7:00.

Fight’n Knight Day will be Friday, Sep. 15, supporting our varsity football team.  Wear your Fight’n Knight shirt to school.

  • Do you need a different-sized Fight’n Knight shirt? If you are having an issue with the sizing/fit of your shirt, we may have alternate sizes available in the next order.  
  • We will be placing an order for additional Fight’n Knight Shirts next Wednesday, September 20th.  Alternate size options are available.  Use the following link to place your order.  Fight’n Knight Shirt order
  • New video on Fight'n Knight Day attire: LINK

 

Drama Production: Plan ahead to attend the varsity drama production of Beauty and the Beast next month.  October 4-7 at 6:30 pm.  

-------------  ELEMENTARY  -------------

6th Grade Play: This coming Friday morning, Miss Anderson’s 6th graders will perform their Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. The assembly will begin in the gym at 8:35.  We will start with a short recitation by Mrs. Blum’s 3rd graders.  All are welcome! 

Elementary Study Tip for the Week: Plan ahead.  Sit down with your child on Saturday and read over the HAS together.  Talk about the tests and assignments with your child so that he is prepared before the week begins.  A few minutes of discussion and study on Saturday morning can help take the pressure off in the middle of the week when the circus is in full swing. One elementary example is having your child learn the first 7 Latin and spelling words on Saturday. This puts them in the position of starting the following week ahead of the game. 

-------------  SECONDARY -------------

Secondary Assembly: Friday, September 15, from 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m., there will be a secondary worldview assembly titled “What is the Gospel?” by Jared Longshore.

Secondary Study Tip of the Week:  For 7th and 8th grade parents especially, ask your student to show you their daily planner.  Are notes written in the daily planner that correspond with the homework assignments, quizzes, and tests? If the planner is blank, this may be a reason to initiate a conversation with your child.

LOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE – 2023/24 – Update #2 (Aug 30, 2023)

-------------  GENERAL  -------------

Logos West Picture Day:  Logos West Picture Day will be this Friday, September 1st.  Students may wear their dress (MWF) uniforms or an outfit of their choosing that is clean, professional, and modest.

Guidelines For Keeping Sick Children Home (from Parent Handbook)

  • Colds: Please keep your child at home if he has a fever over 100 degrees or is experiencing discomfort that would interfere with his ability to perform in school (i.e., uncontrollable coughing, severe lack of energy). 

  • Diarrhea/Vomiting: A child with diarrhea and/or vomiting should stay home and return to school only after being symptom-free for 24 hours. 

  • Fever: The child should remain home with a fever over 100 degrees. The child can return to school after he has been fever-free for 24 hours (without fever-reducing medicine such as Tylenol or Motrin). 

Family Friday release times (the first one is Sept 15). We aim to create an opportunity for dads and moms to take their kids to lunch and spend time with them in the afternoon. Here is a short description of what we are trying to create. All parents are welcome to attend the secondary worldview assembly in the gym at 11:45, but we are especially encouraging dads to come. The topic is, What is the Gospel?

-Logos East dismissal at 11:40.  Friday afternoon, the PK section will not meet.    

-Logos South dismissal: 1st at 11:50, 2nd at 12:00

-Logos West elementary dismissal at 12:15

-Secondary dismissal at 12:30, after the assembly.  

Labor Day: Monday, September 4, is Labor Day.  No school! Enjoy time with your family!

Study Tip for the Week:  Busy parents need to have a system for staying in touch with how their kids are doing in school.  For example, don’t wait for the elementary midterm progress report to come home and get your attention.  Require your child to drop off all graded and returned schoolwork at your spot at the dinner table right when he gets home (or some other convenient spot).  Before dinner, you can look through the pile to check progress.  This will also give you the information required to ask intelligent questions during dinner about the topics that are being covered in school. 

School Quarter Zips!: These are now available through this link. Elementary and secondary students are welcome to wear these in class. Please note that girls wear gray and boys wear navy. 

-------------  ELEMENTARY  -------------

Assembly Accompaniment Tryouts:  4th – 6th-grade students are welcome to try out to accompany singing at elementary assemblies.  Tryouts will take place on Wednesday, September 6, after each lunch in Mr. Berry’s office.  The music came home last week.  Student accompanists receive one free hot lunch for every assembly they accompany. 

Logos South Picture Day is Thursday:  Students may wear either their Friday Dress uniform or nice church clothes. 

-------------  SECONDARY -------------

Honors Classes:  For students interested in taking honors classes, information letters are being sent home by teachers who are offering those classes.  Students who are interested, need to return their commitment letters to their teachers by Friday, September 1.  

Fightn' Knights Day Uniform:  To clarify, students are to wear their normal dark wash blue jeans as part of the FKD uniform.  The FKD uniform video has been updated here. (1 minute, 20 sec) 

Study Tip for the Week: Be sure to read the weekly test schedule (sent Fridays) to stay abreast of the tests and quizzes that your child should be studying for during the coming week.  The test schedule can create good conversation around the dinner table which will also assist your secondary student in recalling the information they will need for their test or quiz.

---------  LOOKING AHEAD --------

Sept 4        Labor Day, no school

Sept 7        Elementary Speech Meet Selections Due

-------------  GENERAL  -------------

Construction Site: As you may be aware, the construction of the Christ Church fellowship hall is underway on Logos property next to Mountain View Park.

Welcome Back Ball: The Student Council will be hosting the Welcome Back Ball on Friday, August 25th.  The elementary dance will run from 6:00-7:30 pm, with a secondary dance practice (6th graders invited) following from 7:30-8:00 pm.

LOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE – 2023 – Summer #4 (Aug 2, 2023) 

LOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE – 2023 - Summer #4 (Aug 2, 2023) 

-------------  GENERAL  -------------

Logos School Board Annual Report: Each year our board evaluates and summarizes the academic year for our families. See the yearly report here

Back to School Bash: We have made some changes to our regular Back to School Night routine. The week before school starts, we have scheduled time for students and parents to come into the classrooms, meet their teachers, and learn about some of the basics. The Friday before school starts (August 18th) we will kick off the school year with a picnic dinner at Ghormley Park for the whole family. There will be food, games for the kids, and a great opportunity to meet Logos families. Stay tuned for more details.

Uniform Ties for Elementary and Secondary Students: Last year, due to the uniform change, all students were given ties and scarves at the beginning of the year.  This year, parents are required to purchase ties and scarves for their students (except for T/Th preschool students who will not need them).  Logos does not sell the elementary boys’ ties nor the elementary girls’ crossover ties.  Here are the links to the elementary boys' and girls' ties.

Secondary ties and scarves may be purchased in the Logos West front office.  The boys’ ties are $20 and the girls’ scarves are $15.  You may purchase these by cash, check, or by having the charge added to your FACTS account.

-------------  ELEMENTARY  -------------

Stacie Robinson: We are excited to announce that Miss Robinson will be joining our kindergarten team!  Stacie joins us with over eight years of teaching experience and a tremendous amount of God-given ability with young children.  She will certainly be an asset to the team at Logos East.  If you see Stacie, please be sure to welcome her to the Logos family.  

Meet your Teacher: This year we are scheduling time for each elementary student (and parents!) to come in, meet their teacher, drop off materials, and set up their desk before the first day of school. This is an open house event during the scheduled times:

Thu, Aug 17 Elementary meet your teacher:  

12:00-2:00p PK & Kindergarten, Logos East (Nazarene Church)

12:00-2:00p 1st grade, Logos South (2305 S. Main)

Recess Duty Volunteers at East and South: We are still looking for volunteers for recess duty this year.  Don’t miss out on this opportunity to serve!  It is such a blessing for teachers to have a short break that you provide!  Here is a link to the current schedule. Please contact Julie Sawyer for Logos East recess duty and Shelli Fisher for Logos South Recess duty.

Monjure Adventure: Our development director Derek Monjure and his family are returning to the South. Here is a short note from our friend: “There are several factors leading to our decision, chief among them are family, primarily my father. Moscow has been home and our children have attended Logos for three years. We have received far more than we have given. We have never been part of a Christian community with such heavy-laden fruit. And so, we leave taking a greater understanding of God’s Kingdom with us. We have been shaped and formed in permanent ways. Wherever God plants our family, we pray that we will bear like fruit.” When you see him, please thank Derek for his faithful work in promoting Logos School this past year.  

-------------  ELEMENTARY  -------------

Elastic Belts: Preschool and kindergarten students are allowed to wear brown elastic belts or magnetic belts (an exception to the uniform policy).  1st grade and above are required to wear the leather uniform belt. 

-------------  SECONDARY -------------

Next Year’s Parking Plan for Student Drivers: Due to very limited parking space on campus only Juniors and Seniors will be allowed to park on campus in designated student parking (lower lot - old carwash and upper lot - next to the gym) on a first come first serve basis.  Underclassmen must park on the street (A or Baker Streets recommended).
