Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.
We know New York parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
Tuesday, 7:15 AM
"Woke up to a surprise snow notification. Now you have to figure out remote learning, get the kids set up on their devices, and still try to make your 9 AM meeting in Midtown."
Thursday, 2:30 PM
"It's early dismissal for parent-teacher conferences, but only for your middle schooler. Your elementary schooler gets out at the normal time. The subway ride to get them both will be an adventure."
Monday, 8:00 AM
"You completely forgot it was Rosh Hashanah and there's no school. Now you're on the LIRR trying to arrange a last-minute playdate so you don't have to take a vacation day."
Wednesday, 10:00 PM
"Your boss asks if you can work next Monday. You have to check three different websites to confirm if it's Italian Heritage/Indigenous Peoples' Day or just a regular school day."

Frequently Asked Questions about the 2025-26 NYCDOE Calendar
Are there traditional snow days in NYC anymore?
No. The NYC Department of Education has replaced traditional snow days with remote learning days. On days with severe weather, school buildings will be closed, and all students are expected to attend classes online.
What is the NYCSA and how does it relate to the calendar?
NYCSA is the NYC Schools Account, the official parent portal. While it provides alerts, our calendar sync service ensures all dates, including last-minute remote learning days, are organized directly in your personal phone calendar.
Why are there so many single days off during the school year?
The NYCDOE calendar includes numerous holidays and professional development days, creating what many parents call a 'checkerboard' schedule. Our calendar helps you anticipate every single day off so you can arrange childcare well in advance.
Does this calendar include holidays like Diwali, Rosh Hashanah, and Eid al-Fitr?
Yes! This calendar includes all official school holidays where schools are closed, including Diwali, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha.
Is this the right calendar for my child's charter school?
Charter schools may have variations in their schedule. While many align with the main NYCDOE calendar for major holidays, we strongly recommend confirming professional development days and conference schedules directly with your charter school.
When is Midwinter Recess in 2026?
Midwinter Recess for all NYC public schools is from Monday, February 16, 2026, to Friday, February 20, 2026.
What are Regents Administration days?
These are days scheduled for the administration of New York State Regents Examinations, typically for high school students. The calendar specifies several days in January and June for these exams.
Why are Parent-Teacher conference days different for elementary, middle, and high schools?
The DOE staggers conference dates for different school levels, which can be challenging for parents with children in multiple grades. Our calendar clearly lists the specific conference dates for each school level.
What is a Clerical Day?
A Clerical Day is a day when students in specific school levels do not attend, allowing staff to work on clerical tasks. For example, June 5, 2026, is a Clerical Day for elementary, middle, and K-12 schools.
When is the last day of school for the 2025-26 year?
The last day of school for all students in the 2025-26 school year is Friday, June 26, 2026.
