The two half-day dismissal dates

The graduation entry names Career Magnet School (CMS) and Chambersburg Area Senior High School (CASHS). Its half-day symbol does not supply an exact pickup time for an individual school.

In-service/PTC days are a separate arrangement

The calendar lists 11 in-year in-service/PTC dates without regular classes. Its key also allows student activities and interventions on those dates. A child assigned to one of those activities may therefore have instructions that differ from the main student calendar.

Keep a school’s participation notice with the relevant date. The absence of regular classes is not a promise that every program is closed, and an in-service/PTC day should not be entered as a student half day.

Keep the finish and snow dates separate

The planned May 30, 2028 final half day follows the Memorial Day holiday. The reserved snow dates are May 31 and June 1–2, 2028. They become attendance dates only if the district needs them; the tentative last-day wording is a reason to leave room in early summer plans.

Easter holiday is April 14–17, with classes scheduled to resume April 18. Use this year’s dates when planning the spring pause rather than reusing the previous year’s holiday week.
