Abington Heights Back-to-School updates

The first day of school for students in the Abington Heights School District is Wednesday, September 3. Abington Heights teachers will participate in in-service sessions on Friday, August 29, and Tuesday, September 2. Parents of afternoon kindergarten, first graders and students new to the District are encouraged to have their children wear tags indicating the child’s name, address, home telephone number, bus number and bus stop during the first week of school. In addition, parents and guardians are encouraged to accompany children as they await the arrival of school buses.

Class lists for elementary and Middle School students will be displayed prior to the start of the school year in the front door windows of each school building commencing Wednesday, August 27, at 5 p.m. High School students will find their homerooms posted in the school’s lobby and hallways on the first day of school.

New this year is a utility for students and parents to access bus information and elementary enrollment boundary lines. Web Query will allow parents or students to look up bus stops, bus times and eligibility at our elementary schools by imputing their home address. Web Query may be accessed through www.ahsd.org from the Parent drop down menu or on the transportation website. Please be advised that the information posted is fluid and will continue to change throughout the summer until all schedules are finalized. A message will be posted on the transportation website once all bus schedules are finalized.
