Official | Next Monday, September 21, there will be no classes in schools and students of all levels will have a new long weekend

The official 2026-2027 school year calendar for New York public schools sets all the dates on which the different schools covered by it close their doors for anniversaries or special events.

In this sense, according to the schedule, students of all levels (3rd grade through 12th grade) will have a new long weekend in September, because of the school holiday scheduled for Monday the 21st.

Why are there no classes in schools next Monday, September 21

The NYCPS schedule states that the different educational levels will begin classes last Thursday, September 10.

Within the same month, students will have an additional day off, since Yom Kippur is commemorated on September 21, and the educational institutions in the district will be closed.
