Logic & Rhetoric News

Aristoi is proud to announce the launch of our brand-new website, designed to be more user-friendly and informative than ever before. The new site features easy navigation and a fresh new look. In addition, we are thrilled to introduce the Aristoi Spirit Shop. Please go to the website for details and the Spirit Shop link. We are excited to offer these new resources to our community and look forward to seeing everyone sporting their Aristoi pride!

Embroidered Aristoi jackets are now available! Homecoming Kick Off is next weekend! What goes best with BBQ? Why, delicious, scrumptious desserts donated and bought during the online Dessert Auction! More information is below. Basketball Tryouts are scheduled; please check out the details below. Don't forget, the Snack Sale and 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

Head of Logic & Rhetoric School

Pink Eye and the 24-Hour Rule:

We have seen an influx of students with pink eye at Aristoi Katy Logic & Rhetoric. Aristoi's Student Care Team sent a letter to parents earlier this week regarding pink eye and the 24-Hour Rule.

Please click on the button below to access the entire letter with reminders about when it is appropriate to send students back to school after an illness.

Aristoi's Spirit Shop is now Open!

We are launching the District-Wide Aristoi Spirit Shop, where our community can purchase a variety of school spirit merchandise online all year long! The best part? Items are shipped directly to homes! With easy navigation, you can select you preferred item, choose the item color, and add an Aristoi-approved logo. 

When making purchases, please be sure to follow the guidelines provided on the Aristoi Spirit Shop page.

Friday Spirit Shirts for scholars are identified here.

Happy Shopping!
