December 18 and March 26 end early
December 18 is the early release before winter break; March 26 is the early release before spring break. Both remain student attendance days. May 20 is the scheduled last day, but it is not another listed early-release date.
The annual calendar does not give dismissal clocks. Confirm your child’s school pickup time, bus arrangements and care coverage for each shortened afternoon. A regular bell schedule cannot supply the release time for these dates.

Workdays may become independent learning for students
The calendar says teacher workdays and professional learning days may convert to independent learning days for weather make-up. Within and immediately after the regular term, the dates are September 4, October 9, January 4–5, March 12, May 21 and May 24.
Under the published schedule these dates have no regular student classes. They are not automatically learning days merely because they are candidates. If the district activates one, follow its directions for assignments and attendance rather than assuming ordinary campus attendance.

January 6 is the semester start
The calendar describes winter break as December 21–January 5. Within that stretch, system holidays run through January 1 and January 4–5 are teacher workdays. Students begin the second semester January 6, unless a make-up announcement changes the student learning arrangement on a workday.
Other returns below are the next scheduled campus dates. The September and October workdays should remain distinct from the system holidays that follow them.

Single-day closures and open house visits
Veterans Day on November 11, Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 18 and the February 15 system closure are additional student days off. March 12 is a conditional workday rather than part of spring break, which begins later on March 29.
Before the August 5 start, open house is July 30 for high school in the morning and middle school in the afternoon. Elementary open house is July 31 in the afternoon. The annual calendar supplies those parts of the day without exact visit hours.

Keep May 20 tentative when planning summer travel
May 20 is the scheduled last student day, and graduation is May 21. May 21 and May 24 workdays may become independent learning if weather make-up is needed, so do not assume the scheduled final date is immune to a later change.
The annual calendar gives no graduation start time. Follow the high school’s instructions for the ceremony and senior attendance. The full Camden calendar page provides printable and calendar downloads, with the weather conditions retained alongside the dates.
