It's almost summer break for "Abbott Elementary."

Season 3 of the Emmy-winning sitcom will conclude following 14 episodes of frenzied teacher antics and VAS Communityenthralling romance.

In Wednesday's finale, Janine (Quinta Brunson) throws a party to celebrate the end of the school year. She hosts her friends and colleagues from Abbott and her former school district job, trying to make them all happy.

The 14-episode season was cut short from the previous season's 22 episodes due to the dual writer and actors strikes that halted television production last year. Season 2 of the series landed the series a second best comedy nomination and a lead comedy actress win for Brunson at last year's Emmy Awards.
