Dear Family:

Forms will be located in the outer foyer, Monday through Friday (except holidays), from 8:15-2:45. You may also access forms on-line, www.abingtonps.org. Select schools, then Abington Early Education Program.
Please stop by the AEEP office to pick up an enrollment packet, and return completed forms and the requested supporting documentation by February 12, 2021. We are located at Door 25, 201 Gliniewicz Way – first driveway entrance.
The following materials will be included in the packet:
- Health History, Student Emergency Information Form, Home Language Survey, Developmental History Forms, and
Abington Public Schools Registration Form (*enrollment packet)
2. Proof of Residency (see list below)
3. Birth Certificate (bring a copy of birth certificate to leave in child's folder)
4. Report of Physical Examination within the past 14 months
5. Report of Lead Testing
6. Certificates of Immunization (all of the following must be documented):
DTaP: 4 or more doses
Mumps, Measles, Rubella Vaccine: 1 dose
Polio Vaccine: 3 or more doses Hepatitis B: 3 doses
Varicella: 1 dose or Physician’s documentation of disease
Hib: 1 to 4 doses
Immunization records for the above are required by State Law before a child is allowed to enter school. These requirements shall not apply (1) upon presentation of written documentation that the child meets the standards for medical or religious exemption set forth in Mass General Laws or (2) in the case of measles, mumps, or rubella upon presentation of laboratory evidence of immunity, which can be obtained from your physician. Your child will not be allowed to begin school without proof of immunization or an explanation on file with us. All requirements must be completed prior to your child entering school in September.
Additionally, your child must be fully toilet trained to be considered for the program.
Screenings for new students usually take place in March, April and June, prior to the new school year. Currently, we are holding off on these for a bit, and you will be contacted to make an appointment to come in with your child. The results of the screening will assist in classroom placement with Special Education students. You will be notified if there is a need for further testing.
Parents sometimes question whether or not their child is ready to begin school. They may be concerned about maturity, language issues, or other factors. If you would like to speak with someone about your child’s school readiness, please notify us at registration.
If you have any questions, please telephone the AEEP at 781-982-2195.
Yours truly, Abington Early Education Program Staff
