NYC Schools Close for Yom Kippur

New York City Public Schools will be closed on September 21, 2026, for Yom Kippur. The closure applies to NYCPS schools serving students from 3-K through grade 12, including public schools serving Astoria. Families should use their individual school's communications for any after-school, child-care, meal, or program information because those arrangements are not specified in the citywide calendar. Private, charter, parochial, and other education programs may use different calendars and should be contacted directly.
