Message from the Principal

May, 2020

Dear AMS Students and Families,

Starting on Monday, June 1, 2020, Abington Middle School students are welcome to return to the school in order to retrieve any personal items from their desks and lockers. The schedule in the link lists specific times that students may return and is organized alphabetically by last name so that families only need to plan for one visit.
The following guidelines will be in place to maintain safety and proper social distancing: • Everyone must wear a mask • Stay at least 6 feet apart from non-family members • Bathrooms and water stations will be closed • If necessary, only one parent shall accompany a student Also, during your specific retrieval time, if you have an instrument to pick up, please report to the Band Room to do so. I appreciate your continued cooperation and look forward to seeing you during your scheduled item retrieval time.

24 de abril de 2021

Querida Comunidade da Escola Secundária de Abington,

Espero que esta mensagem te encontre saudável e bem. Hoje, sexta-feira, 24 de abril de 2020 assinala o trigésimo dia de escola a ser realizado remotamente devido à pandemia coronavírus. Todos esperávamos que o nosso regresso à escola fosse mais cedo do que sabemos agora que será. Depois de nos reunirmos com o corpo docente e pessoal da AMS, posso dizer-vos que estamos todos tristes com a ordem do Governador, mas entendemos porque é necessário. Embora a lista de coisas que precisamos fazer nos próximos meses seja longa, quero aproveitar esta oportunidade para abordar alguns itens sobre os quais recebemos perguntas.

Artigos estudantis em Cacifos e Mesas: Neste momento todos os alunos devem ter o que precisam para participar em aprendizagem remota. Vamos agendar um tempo para os alunos reentrarem no edifício para recuperar quaisquer itens pessoais deixados em cacifos ou mesas e devolver quaisquer livros, livros de biblioteca ou artigos emprestados. Isto só acontecerá no final do ano letivo e teremos de seguir todos os protocolos de segurança e distanciamento social.

Infelizmente, não poderemos completar o nosso anuário. Vamos pedir reembolsos para todos os anuários já encomendados e pedimos que novas encomendas não sejam aceites.

A Pista de primavera e o Voleibol não terão lugar. Se já tinha enviado um cheque para pagar a taxa de inscrição, esse cheque não será descontado e permanecerá num local seguro. Vamos planear destruir estes cheques a menos que peça especificamente que o seu cheque seja devolvido quando a escola reabrir no outono.

Quero expressar os meus agradecimentos aos alunos, pais/encarregados de guarda e professores. A aprendizagem remota é diferente e pode ser um desafio. É evidente, através do feedback que estou a receber das reuniões e das comunicações individuais, que este trabalho árduo está a ser abordado com paciência e compreensão.

À medida que avançamos, certifique-se de que está a seguir a nossa página de Facebook e a receber os nossos e-mails de Contacto Constante. Estamos planejando vários eventos divertidos em que estudantes e famílias possam participar em casa. Se tiver perguntas, a Sra. Sawyers e eu estamos disponíveis para ajudá-lo. Pode contactar-nos por e-mail: matthewmaccurtain@abingtonps.org e

sarahsawyers@abingotnps.org.

Mantenham-se seguros e bem,

Matthew J. MacCurtain

Diretor
