ThrillShare Will Be Replacing Constant Contact
Beginning this school year, ALL district and school communications, including
newsletters, updates, and announcements will be posted on our webpage and sent through a new platform called Thrillshare, and will be sent out via email, SMS message, and Live Feed within the app. We piloted this platform last year alongside Constant Contact. This year you will no longer receive district or school-based messages through Constant Contact (However, Abington Community-Based messages will continue to be sent using Constant Contact). To ensure you receive all Abington Public Schools information, please take a moment to log into Aspen and verify that the email addresses listed f oryour student’s first two contacts are accurate and up to date. Thrillshare will use this information to send communications directly to you: If you need assistance logging into Aspen, please click here.
Good afternoon,
We are thrilled to share that the 2025-2026 school year is off to a great start. We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who has contributed to what has been one of the smoothest openings of school we have had. Our dedicated maintenance and custodial teams ensured that our learning and gathering spaces were ready to receive students, our educators created welcoming classrooms and thoughtful lesson plans, and our administrative and support personnel organized schedules and ensured supplies reached every corner of our school. Our appreciation extends to First Student, APD, AFD, and countless other partners who made this possible. Above all, we owe our deepest thanks to our wonderful community of students and families. These first two days have been extraordinary, and it's evident that our learners arrive ready to embrace new challenges and flourish here at AMS.
Have a safe and relaxing weekend,
Matthew MacCurtain

Abington Middle School hours are 7:50 a.m. to 2:22 p.m. Students should be seated in their homerooms at that time, ready to start the day. Parents who are dropping off their students will use the entrance to the left of the school building at Door 10 and follow the designated drop-off procedures. If a student arrives late, they must sign-in at the main office. Students who arrive after 8:30 a.m. must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Students will be dismissed at 2:22 p.m. Parents who are picking up students should wait in the designated drop-off/pick-up area located to the left side of the building at Door 10 and follow the appropriate drop-off/pick-up procedures. Door 10 will be open between 7:20 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. for student drop-off. Students arriving after 7:50 a.m. should enter through the front door of the building and will be marked tardy.
