My two children recently transferred to Abington Elementary School. because my children are new the area and still adapting to their surroundings I decided my children should be car riders.On their second day of school I arrive to the school to pick my children up and they are no where to be found while in the car rider line I was informed by a staff member that Someone had called the school and made other arrangements for my children transportation home knowing I had not made that call nor Had I instructed anyone to make that call on my behalf I became immediately concerned and panic I parked my vehicle to make my way to the main office. As I was walking I was stopped by a staff member she ask where I was going I explained my children are missing that the school had lost my children her response was ok and she continued with the dismissal with no regards to what I had just mentioned. At this point I concluded that I was on my own to find my children without any assistance from the administration team or staff members on duty i began searching for my own children. I decided to call a neighbor to find out if they happened to know the bus number for our community. While still frantic and still in panic mode a women approaches me and begins to scream in my face and ear that she will ban me I later found out that she was the principal .Stacey Gerringer (principle) at no point had she offered any assistance she never announced who she was and showed no sympathy ,consideration, or compassion of what I was going Thur. She sent out a massive email to all parents and staff members referring to me as a disrupt parent with failure to mention that they had lost my children. Not knowing rather or not If I had found my children She had police come to my house and ban me for 1 year off school property knowing I’m a single parent and my children only means of transportation to and from school this shows she doesn’t have my children education or best interest at hand. An although I’d much rather have police come and ban me rather then tell me something happened to my children I still feel the situation is unjustified there was no apology no mediation or meeting to resolve this issue so it doesn’t happen again .

As a parent of child who attends Abingdon, I can not be happier with the education my child is getting. The teachers are excellent at keeping parents up to date with what is going on, and getting students involved and engaged in learning.

This will be our 4th school year at this school, I can certainly say it has been up and down. Some teachers are excellent with the students and work with them on all their needs, while some only cater to certain children. The new administration staff is less than desirable, not warm and inviting at all. My daughter had an issue with bullying and it was handled poorly, I was not notified unless my child came home and told me and my e-mails to the teacher, went unanswered. I believe all the teachers should also go through diversity training to learn how to deal with children and families from ALL backgrounds.

Last night I attended a performance by the fourth and fifth grade bands, orchestra and choruses. I am the great grand mother of one of the students. I was totally amazed at the level of accomplishment of these students. What a wonderful resource this school provides. Congratulations to the students and their music faculty.

My daughter has had issues with being bullied. We reported it and she was blamed by the vice principal. She was pushed and nothing was done. Not a fan of Mrs Mang and her tactics,

I actually went to Abingdon Elementary quite a while ago. When I was there the teachers were amazing. The guidance department was very helpful as well. I have heard that the majority of the teachers I have still teach here. It is a wonderful atmosphere for children to be in.
