At Abby Kelley, our Mission it to work in partnership with families, to support our students, especially when they look to the adults in their lives for information and guidance on how to react to situation which arise at home, at school and in the world we live in. Assuring our students feel safe talking about their fears and providing them a environment where they feel safe, physically and emotionally, is extremely important.
