Month by month
Highlighted dates follow the published calendar; grouped or inferred entries are labelled. Today is determined in Eastern Time (America/New_York).
Chambersburg students begin August 19, 2026. The first in-year in-service/PTC date comes August 28, and ten more follow before the tentative June 1, 2027 finish. The monthly student-day figures total 172 regular days. The calendar’s key allows student activities and interventions on PTC dates, so families should check school instructions rather than assuming every program is closed.
Thanksgiving holiday runs November 25–30, including Monday, with classes scheduled back December 1. Christmas holiday starts December 21 and connects directly to the January 1 New Year’s closure. Students are scheduled to return January 4. January 15 is an in-service/PTC day and January 18 is the MLK holiday, creating a four-day pause in regular classes.
Easter holiday falls March 26–29, with classes resuming March 30. CMS and CASHS graduation is May 28, which is also marked for half-day dismissal. Memorial Day follows May 31; students are then scheduled to return June 1 for a tentative final half day. Snow dates June 2–4 may affect the finish. ACCESS dates remain unassigned within January–February, while the PDF provides January and May Keystone windows.
Regular student days (monthly sum): 172 days. The monthly Student Days figures sum to 172: 8 + 20 + 20 + 15 + 13 + 18 + 17 + 20 + 21 + 19 + 1. In-service/PTC dates are outside this regular-class count, even though the legend allows student activities/interventions on those dates. No separate annual total is printed.
