Mrs. Ambrose's Class - About Mrs. Ambrose

I am so excited to get the privilege of spending the school year with your child! I’m thrilled to be here and know we will have a great time together learning and preparing for the sixth grade. This is my 10th year with Abington School District, and my first in Abington Middle School. I spent a two years in fifth grade, 7 years in sixth, and before that, I spent 14 years teaching preschool. I am an Abington resident whose three daughters are also in the school district. My oldest graduated from Abington Senior High with the Class of 2022 and attends Arcadia University as a junior. She is currently studying abroad in South Korea. I have a tenth-grader, and a senior. We love it here and love our community!

I know that the transition to middle school may propose many challenges for students and families, but I am confident that we can work through these together and will have a fantastic school year!

Again, please know that I’m excited to be here and to get to know your child. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

My name is Jessica Ambrose and I grew up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I've lived in Pennsylvania since 2000 when I married my husband, who grew up in Upper Moreland Twp.. I've lived in Abington since 2007 and have three daughters in the Abington School District.

I have been working with children for 20+ years. I love children and making a difference in their lives. I think it is important to not only impart knowledge but teach children how special they are and do my part to contribute to helping them have a positive self-image. If a child grows up believing in themselves, they can accomplish anything! In my spare time I love to read, craft, make new recipes, go camping, to the beach, or to the mountains. Being the mom of three girls, I have the unique perspective of BOTH an educator and a parent. I think this is something that can benefit us greatly. When I think about the children, I look at them from both angles, what I want them to learn and how I, as a parent, would want them to be treated. Our children are the most precious keys to our future and this is something I understand and feel honored to be a part of.
