Logic & Rhetoric News

Spirit Week is soon to be upon us! Get ready! What goes best with BBQ? Why, delicious, scrumptious desserts donated and bought during the online Dessert Auction! More information is below. Coffee with the Headmaster is coming up. Logic School Basketball Tryouts are scheduled. Don't forget, the Snack Sale, Spirit Night, are on the schedule, too.

Dear Logic and Rhetoric Parents,

According to the Aristoi Family Handbook 2023-24 (pg. 23), “The Logic School and the Rhetoric School students not picked up in the carpool area by 3:50 PM may be picked up at the front office in front of building D. Unless students are participating in an after-school event, it is imperative that the Logic School and the Rhetoric School students are picked up no later than 3:50 PM. Since all faculty are dismissed from work at 3:50 PM it is a safety issue for students to be on campus after 3:50 PM.”

Thank you for your attention,



Dr. Cimpean
