The Abington School District held a meeting on October 3, 2025, focusing on the role of elementary counselors and their impact on student growth and well-being. The session emphasized the importance of effective communication between parents and counselors to support children's needs.

During the meeting, Miss Fitzpatrick addressed a question regarding the best ways for parents to contact school counselors. She highlighted that parents can reach out via email or by calling the school’s front office, which can facilitate direct communication with counselors. Fitzpatrick noted that the counseling staff is committed to responding promptly and is open to various forms of communication, including in-person meetings for those who prefer face-to-face discussions.

The counselors expressed gratitude for the positive feedback received from parents, acknowledging the vital role they play in the educational environment. Comments from attendees praised the counseling staff, particularly Miss Fitzpatrick, for their dedication and support, reinforcing the counselors' commitment to making a meaningful difference in students' lives.

Looking ahead, the counselors announced an upcoming session on October 9, which will delve deeper into their services and strategies. They encouraged parents to participate, regardless of whether their children are currently facing challenges, and to share information about the meetings with other families. The counselors aim to create an inclusive space for parents to understand their work and how it benefits students.

The meeting concluded with appreciation for parental involvement and a reminder of the ongoing support available through the counseling team. The district plans to record the sessions for families unable to attend, ensuring that resources remain accessible to the community.
