James Hansen, an Economics and American Political Systems teacher at Logan has donated a collection of presidential biographies to the school library.

Hansen may qualify for a tax deduction for his donation, but he said he did it only to benefit Logan's student body.

“I want the kids here at James Logan to be able to have access to these books. Many of these books are well written, and I’d be glad to share it with them,” said Hansen. “Knowing that I wouldn’t get any money in return for donating these books to the library, I still went on and did it. I strictly donate books to help save the library and school money for other things,”he said Hansen.

A new program called Zangle that will debut as the New Haven Unified School District's new student information system (SIS) next school year will increase communication between teachers and parents and also replace the outdated HP program that has been used for over 20 years.

When the new program comes online next fall, parents will be able to check their students' grades and attendance via computers at any time.

Following the end of the first semester of the 2007-2008 school year, a lot of students are concerned about their grades, or, more precisely, what their parents will do when they see report cards.

Some students have found ways to keep their parents from seeing them, hoping that maybe if their parents don’t see their grades they would forget about them.

The most obvious way is to intercept the report card in the mail, before parents can get their hands on it. Intercepting report cards is a Logan tradition that has going on for many years, but it won't work much longer.
