Dear Abington High School Families, 

I wanted to take a moment to update you on some events and information items in preparation for the weeks ahead. Before I do, I want to thank you all again for your continuous support as we manage the unique school experience this year.

Teacher & Course Introductions - This year, we were not able to host an in-person open house due to safety precautions and regulations. Each teacher has created a short video that contains the same information they would have shared at Open House for each course that they teach. To access the videos, copy this address into your browser - https://flipgrid.com/+graham9974. Please review your student(s) schedule, and then search for the teacher’s last name in the search field. Then, select the course that your student is enrolled in to view the video of the course information. Our teachers have included contact information in the event that you have additional questions for them after viewing the videos.

Some of AHS' upcoming events include:
From the Guidance Department:
Massasoit is holding virtual on-the-spot admission meetings on Wednesday, December 9 and Friday, December 11, 2020. Please contact Mrs. Gaylor to book your appointment with Massasoit's representative. 
Mass Maritime is also offering on-the-spot admission meetings! If you are interested in booking, please reach out to Mrs. Gaylor. 
Class of 2023:
The sophomore class is selling masks. Please email Rylee DeMinico.
A.C.E.
The Academic Center for Enrichment [ACE] will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:10-3:30.  Students have the option to meet in-person on their cohort days and/or remotely on their remote days.  Students can sign up to be a tutor, work with a tutor, work with a study group, or simply have a place to go to work on assignments.  All safety protocols will be followed while meeting in-person.  Students will be sent a Teams meeting link for meeting remotely. If you have any questions, please e-mail Ms. Evans at melissaevans@abingtonps.org.
Drama Club
Looking for a fun and interesting project? The AHS Drama Club will be working on presenting the musical, "WORKING", to be recorded and streamed sometime in the spring. The show is primarily a series of monologues and solo songs that are well-suited for our masked and distanced times. Auditions are open to all eligible students regardless of acting or singing experience. In-person acting auditions will be held after school on December 15 at 2:10 PM and December 17, 2020 at 3:05 PM. Students may also submit a video audition through a link to be provided. All singing auditions will be submitted via recording as well. The link will be posted in the Drama Club Team or you can email Mr. Shannon or Ms. Tomlin and the link and other audition materials will be emailed to you when it becomes available.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Bourn, Principal 
Jesse Clements, Assistant Principal
