School Safety

Abington School District takes the safety of its students and staff seriously, and fostering safe and supportive learning environments is a top priority across all our school buildings.

Safety training occurs for staff and students throughout the school year, and school emergency operations plans are modified as needed in order to improve procedures. Within each school, training drills are conducted on a monthly basis that include the following: fire, severe weather (tornado, earthquake) and active shooter. All drills are conducted with a preventative focus to be prepared for such emergencies.

For questions or concerns, contact Abington School District School Police Officer, Mr. Steven Hochwind, via email or 215-881-2554.
