2026-2027 School Year Calendar

This is the 2026–27 school year calendar for NYCPS schools from 3-K through 12. If your child attends a private, parochial, charter school, NYC Early Education Center (NYCEEC) or Family Childcare Program, please contact your child's school for information about their calendar.

On days when school buildings are closed due to inclement weather or other emergencies, NYCPS may be in session remotely.

Individual schools' Parent-Teacher Conference dates might be different from the dates listed below. Your child's teacher will work with you to schedule your conference.

On this calendar, elementary schools are defined as programs that serve kindergarten (K) through grade 8, including schools with 3-K and Pre-K programs, as well as those that end in grade 5 or grade 6. Middle schools are defined as programs that serve grades 6–8, and high schools are defined as programs that serve grades 9–12. 6–12 schools are defined as programs that serve just grades 6–12 in a single school.
