NYC Public Schools Begin September 10

The first day of the 2026-27 school year for New York City Public Schools is Thursday, September 10. The date applies to NYCPS schools serving students from 3-K through grade 12, including public schools attended by families in Kingsbridge. Families should confirm individual school schedules, transportation arrangements, arrival procedures, and meal information with their child's school because private, charter, parochial, and early education programs may follow different calendars. The city also provides a back-to-school checklist for families preparing accounts, forms, health records, and other school requirements.
