Back To School: West Chester Area School District 2022-23 Calendar

WEST CHESTER, PA — Back-to-school planning has already begun in the West Chester Area School District, with calendars available to help parents prepare for the first day.

That calendar you may keep on your refrigerator can be filled in with days when school is closed.

The district’s current health and safety plan remains that wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is optional.

If Chester County increases to a high level, the district will consult with the Chester County Health Department to determine if universal masking is necessary.
