New Dress Uniforms!
The first day of school was a delight. A number of parents and faculty mentioned that, “Logos students have never looked better.” Not only did their clothes look sharp, but they were cheerful, attentive and ready to start the year off strong. See for yourself…

General
Attendance Policy: If your child needs to miss school for any reason, please call the office in advance and let the secretaries know so that they do not record the absence as a truancy.
Student Dress: Remember that the first day of school will be a dress uniform day (see handbook for details). Students will not need to wear their dress uniforms on Friday. Uniform days will occur only once a week due to laundering considerations.
Elementary
Elementary Welcome Assembly: Monday morning at 9:00 there will be an elementary welcome assembly in the auditorium. All K-6th grade students will be present, and parents are welcome to attend.

New Individual Picture Day: The day for individual pictures has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 2. New order forms reflecting the correct date will come home with your child. Students are allowed to be out of the uniform guidelines this day as long as they are dressed nicely and adhere to the modesty standards in the guidelines.
Milk Fees: Daily price - $.40 / Semester price - $28.00
If you choose the semester payment option, each carton of milk costs $.35 so you have a savings of $4 per semester compared to if you bought milk daily throughout the semester. The milk fees can be turned in at the front office.
Hot Lunch: Attached is the September hot lunch order form. The September hot lunch order form will also be distributed in each of the elementary classrooms the first week of school. However, from then on the monthly hot lunch order form will only be emailed out to each family. They will not be distributed in the classrooms. There will be a pile of blank forms in the front office each month if needed. Make sure you check the bottom of the hot lunch order forms for the date they must be turned in by so that you do not miss the chance to order that month. The hot lunch forms and payments should be turned in at the front office.

Preschool Waiting List: Preschool currently has a total of 19 students enrolled in two classes. Due to the great interest in preschool this year the board has directed me to open a preschool waiting list for 2009-2010. If you are interested in reserving a slot for your child next year, please follow this procedure:
1. Complete an application. These can be found at the Logos Principal’s Page.
2. Schedule a parent interview with the front office (unnecessary for current Logos families).
3. Pay the preschool materials fee of $50.
There are two students already on the list!
PE: We are still looking for a few more parent volunteers for elementary PE. Please contact me if you are interested in helping out.
Secondary
Cell Phones & Other Electronic Devices: Given the recent media attention to cell phones in the classroom, some of you may be wondering what our guidelines are. Here you go:
- Cell Phones, Palm Pilots, etc.: These are allowed at school but not in the classrooms. Students should store their phone in their car or in their locker at the beginning of the day.
- IPODs, MP3s, cameras, hand-held games, etc.: These are not allowed at school.
- Laptop Computers: These are allowed at school and may be used only for writing papers or giving power point presentations. Students are not allowed to access the internet at school. Movies and music may not be used at school.
All for now. We’re looking forward to a great year!
Sports Reminder
Dear Secondary Parents,
School is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about fall activities (volleyball and cross country) at Logos. On this site, under athletics, are three forms, some or all of which will need to be completed before any student may participate in activities here at the school.
1. Waiver and Release of Liability form. Every secondary student (7-12 grade) participating in any activity (athletic or non-athletic) must have one of these on file with the activities director before the first day of practice. If you have more than one secondary student participating, a single form per family is fine.
2. Interim Questionnaire (IHSAA) form. Every high school student (9-12 grade) participating in an athletic activity (volleyball, cross country, basketball, track, or lacrosse) must have one of these on file with the activities director before the first day of practice.
3. Health Examination and Consent (physical) form. Every 9th and 11th grade student participating in an athletic activity must have a physical performed and this form completed by the physician before the first day of practice. The parent completes the front side of the form and the physician the back side.
Volleyball: The high school teams (varsity and junior varsity) start practice Friday, August 15 at 5:45am in the gym. Before athletes may participate they need to bring a completed “Interim Questionnaire” form, a signed “Waiver and Release of Liability” form, and the $55 participation fee with them to the first practice. In addition, 9th and 11th graders must have a health examination from a doctor (see above). Students will not be allowed to practice without the proper forms and fees.
The junior high team doesn’t start until the second day of school, August 26. Practice will be after school. They should have the “Waiver and Release of Liability” form and the participation fee of $30 turned in by then.
Cross Country: Cross Country (junior high and high school) also starts on August 15th at 7:30am (meet at the Moscow JH tennis courts). All the form and fee requirements for volleyball are the same for high school cross country participants. Junior high runners need only complete the waiver form and bring the $30 participation fee. Be sure to have your children bring everything with them to the first practice so that they will be able to practice with the team. Also, Coach Ryan would like Cross Country runners to begin working out on their own. The kids should be up to 3-4 miles (JH - 2-3 miles) 3 times a week and 6-7 miles (4-5 for JH) once a week by the time practice starts.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and we’ll see you soon. Go Knights!

Preschool Remodel
After a few late nights and Saturdays, under the direction of Logos Alum Joe Casebolt, the preschool remodel is nearly complete. Many thanks to all of the preschool dads and friends who have invested their time and money in this project. The “Preschool Cottage” is turning out to be one of the nicest classrooms in the school.

11th Grade Registration
11th Grade Registration: There have been a few questions about Registration Day for juniors. Here’s the scoop:
1. Juniors need to select an elective class. Remember that students must have at least 1 fine arts credit to graduate.
2. Juniors will need to decide between the following two math classes: Trigonometry or Pre-College Algebra. The latter is an alternative to Trigonometry for 11th graders who need to shore up their mathematics foundation in preparation for college level studies. Please feel free to contact Mr. Courtney if you are unsure of which to sign up for.
3. Juniors have the option of taking Greek. If a student is not taking Greek, then he will have one study period during the day in which he will work on homework in the library or auditorium.
NOTE: If your child has not been at Logos since 9th grade or has not passed all of his classes, please contact Charlene Polek (registrar) to confirm that he is on track to meet all graduation requirements.
