Dear Logan Families,

I can’t believe we are already halfway through the first quarter of the school year! It has been wonderful to see our students settling into routines, building relationships, and growing each day.

Interim Reports: Interims were shared with families on Friday. If your child is enrolled in one of our traditional classrooms, please check your email for their interim report. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher.

Grandparents’ Day: We are excited to celebrate Grandparents’ Day on Thursday, September 10! This is one of our largest and most special events of the year. To ensure that we have enough food and space for everyone, please remember that you must RSVP by Tuesday, September 8. We look forward to welcoming our grandparents and special guests to campus!

Attendance Awareness Month: September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we ask for your continued partnership in making regular, on-time attendance a priority. Please make every effort to have your child at school on time each day and allow them to remain at school for the entire instructional day whenever possible. Even missing a few hours of instruction due to an early sign-out can make a difference in classroom success. We greatly appreciate your support in helping our students make the most of every school day.

PTO Meeting: Our first PTO meeting of the school year will be held on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. We would love to see our families there as we begin a new year of partnership and support for our school!

Finally, there is no school tomorrow in observance of Labor Day. I hope you and your families enjoy the extended weekend and have an opportunity to relax and spend time together.

Thank you for sharing your children with us each day. We are grateful for your continued support and partnership, and we look forward to a wonderful first quarter together!

Grandparents' Day RSVP Form

The link below should allow you an opportunity to sign up as well. The deadline to RSVP is September 8, 2026.

We ask that families communicate with grandparents in advance to ensure they are aware of this special opportunity and know the correct time to attend based on the student's grade level.

Grandparents Day is one of our most anticipated events of the year, and we expect a large number of guests to attend. We kindly ask for your patience as we work to welcome and accommodate everyone. Our staff is committed to making this a memorable experience for our students and their families, and we appreciate your support as we coordinate an event of this size.

Leopards! 💚🐾

At Security Federal Bank, we offer a specialized savings account for kids designed to teach financial responsibility from an early age. Our youth savings accounts provide an excellent way for children to learn the importance of saving money while earning interest on their deposits.

If you are interested in opening a youth savings account and setting your child on the path to a secure financial future, Security Federal will be onsite on Friday of each week during the school year. Deposits will be available for drop-off between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. on Fridays.

For more details, they can be reached at: 1900 Assembly Street, Columbia, SC, 803-739-3960, and SVoit@securityfederalbank.com.

Car Line Drop-Off

• Every child needs hugs, kisses, or high fives to start the school day. Please take care of this before arriving in the drop-off zone each day.
• Drivers, please remain in your vehicle. When you stop and get out, it slows the flow of the line.
  

• Pull as far forward as reasonably possible to allow space for more parents to drop-off their Leopards.

• Have students exit the car from the passenger side (right side). Students who exit from the driver’s side create a much higher chance for an accident.

• Students may exit the car only after crossing the DOUBLE WHITE LINE.

• The doors are open from 7:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. Please note that students must be in the classroom by 7:30 a.m. prepared for the instructional day.
• If you arrive after 7:30 am, please walk your child to the front office to complete the tardy slip. Do not leave your child unattended at the front door.
• After the first day, parents will not be allowed to walk in the building. This is for all parent and guardians. A staff member will ensure your child report to his or her assigned class.

• If a family in front of you is taking longer than usual, you may carefully pull around the car when it is safe to do so.

• Avoid walking across the parking lot. The sidewalk is a much safer alternative.

Car Line Pick-up

• Please remember to clearly display your child's car rider sign in the windows of your car. You will be able to pick up a tag during our Back to School Orientation.
• All transportation changes must be received in writing and always sent to your child’s teacher using their communication platform, e-mail, or fax to (803) 929-3896. All same day transportation changes need to be done through the front office.
• Early dismissal will end at 2:00 p.m. This is to ensure that dismissal is smooth at the end of the day. If there is an emergency, please contact the front office or let me know so accommodations can be made.
• The school day ends at 2:30 p.m. You must remain in your car. Please do not stand at the front entrance doors. Car riders will stay in the classroom with their teacher until their name is called.

• Abbeville Street will be a ONE WAY street (towards Park Street) between posted times 7:00 - 7:30 AM and 2:20 - 3:00 PM.
• NO LEFT TURN into the school parking lot from Lincoln Street during posted times 7:00 - 7:30 AM and 2:20 - 3:00 PM.

Parents and students can access bus stop locations, routes, and pick-up times on our secure mobile app, providing easy access and transparency.
