A School Public Relations Group Honored Abington SD For Grade Reconfiguration Website

ABINGTON, PA — The Abington School District recently received a recognition from a statewide association for a website it created designed to keep the community informed on a districtwide grade span reconfiguration plan.

The district received an Award of Excellence in the Excellence in Education Communications Contest being run by the Pennsylvania School Public Relations Association.

The district was honored in the Website & Apps category for its grade span reconfiguration site.

According to background information on the website project, school district personnel spent the 2021-22 school year working to fully prepare families for a grade span reconfiguration that is set to roll out beginning in September 2022.

The district said that its website was designed to expand as more information about the reconfiguration became available, and that it was also important that the website be broken up into sections based on information important to each audience; the reconfiguration is expected to impact families of all grade levels differently.

Patch reported on the grade reconfiguration plan last fall.
