CASD to Open Downtown Engagement Center January 6th

 

The Chambersburg Area School District is pleased to announce the opening of the Chambersburg Engagement Center (CEC) on January 6th. Located on the downtown square in Chambersburg (20 South Main Street) the CEC is designed to create a more comprehensive and streamlined registration process for families, and will centralize key services that were previously spread across various schools.  Thanks to our partnership with the Franklin County Area Development Corporation and the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce for leasing the space to the School District. 

The downtown CEC will serve as a centralized hub, providing families with streamlined student registration, access to healthcare resources, and support services.

What Parents/Guardians Can Expect at the CEC:

  • Centralized Registration: All student registration will take place at the CEC, providing a more efficient process.

  • Language Support Services: Interpreters will be available to assist families who speak a language other than English. Additionally, screenings for English as a Second Language (ESL) students will be conducted at the CEC prior to them starting school.

  • Healthcare Assistance: Families visiting the CEC can schedule appointments for student immunizations and physicals at the Keystone Health Clinic located at Chambersburg Area Senior High School (CASHS). Support for other health-related needs will also be available.

  • Social Services Support: A social worker will be on-site twice a week to assist families experiencing housing instability or other challenges.

  • Expanded Family Support: In the near future, parents/guardians will have access to a case manager to help schedule healthcare appointments and connect families with community resources.

The Chambersburg Engagement Center represents a significant step forward in creating a more accessible, efficient, and supportive experience for families in the district. By housing these services in a downtown location, we will eliminate as many barriers and hurdles as possible for students and families.
