Bus applications and fees were due to Central Office on July 1st. Applications and payments received after July 1 will be considered late and will be honored only if space is available and if there is an existing stop on the route.

Abington Public Schools

The last few pictures of the 2025-2026 school year! We hope everyone has a wonderful summer break, doing whatever makes you happy!

Today we will be kicking off Summer Reading! Depending on the weather we will be inside or outdoors- nothing will stop the kick off. We will have Summer Reading swag, crafts, games, and temporary tattoos.

Please see AEEP's enclosed newsletter!

AEEP's End of Year Celebration and bus ride to BBES for rising kindergarteners were both a big success! Our school year is winding down, only a few more school days before summer break!

AEEP - Spirit Week June 15th-June 18th

The Abington School Committee revised the FY27 School Calendar at its meeting on June 9, 2026. The updated calendar can be found here: https://www.abingtonps.org/page/documents-and-forms and will be used to generate the BIG green calendar you will receive in the fall.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Starting from caterpillars, our students were able to observe and learn how they form a chrysalis before turning into a butterfly! We were so excited to release them and watch them fly!
