Principal's Message

  • Welcome Abernethy Eagles to a new school year!

    I know it is hard to believe that the beginning of the 2021-22 school year is just around the corner! We are excited to welcome back students to a full week of school in person. I also know that we are starting this school year with some questions about the Delta variant of the Coronavirus and how that might impact what school looks like this year. You can expect regular communication from me and PPS regarding COVID-19 protocols, which can be found at PPS Back to School. Currently, all students and staff are required to wear masks while in the building. Classroom furniture is being placed to allow three feet between students where possible. I would encourage students to self monitor for COVID symptoms and to stay home if they have a fever of 100.4 F or higher, shortness of breath, an unexplainable cough or a sudden loss of sense of taste or smell.

    I would like to offer my gratitude to all of you for your continuing support of public education and your neighborhood school. Last year was challenging, but we also grew and came together in new ways as a community to support our students. At Abernethy we work hard to serve all families and provide the best education possible for your children. I invite you to contact me anytime you have questions or concerns. By working together, we can accomplish the best for all students. If there is anything we can do to support you or your children please do not hesitate to let us know. I am looking forward to a year of growth, achievement, professional satisfaction, and fun as we work together. Cheers to a new year!
