Message from the Principal

Good Afternoon,

Congratulations to our 2019-2020 Project 351 Ambassador Jack Regan. Jack was selected by AMS educators for exemplifying outstanding leadership qualities. Each January, Project 351 honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with new Class of 8th Grade Ambassadors from across the state. These students embrace the responsibility to lead with a determination to make a difference. From 351 cities and towns, these Ambassadors are invited to “unite, act, and lead” for 12 months of inspirational service, empowering leadership training, and teamwork with a statewide network of friends. Congratulations to Jack.

Please take a few minutes and complete our School Council Parent Survey. The results of this survey will be used by the AMS School Council to develop our next School Improvement Plan.

The student interviews for South Shore Vocational Technical High School will be held on Friday, February 7, 2020. The interviews will be held at Abington Middle School during the school day. Mrs. McDermod will make an in-school announcement when the interview schedule is posted. All students who have completed an online application for South Shore Vocational Technical High School will be interviewed. Students who have already been interviewed will still meet with Mrs. Dow from South Shore Vocational Technical High School to review grades and answer any questions. Interested applicants can still complete an online application at ssvotech.org. Please contact Mrs. McDermod at the Abington Middle School Guidance Office with any questions.

Have a great weekend!

Mr. MacCurtain
