The New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE), also known as New York City Public Schools, has not yet released an official 2027-2028 school year calendar. This page provides a projected NYC school calendar for 2027-2028 based on recent NYCPS calendar patterns, the city's published calendar-setting rules, and known federal, state, and religious holiday dates.
The projected 2027-2028 NYC calendar starts after Labor Day, with a projected first day of school on Thursday, September 9, 2027. The year is expected to include citywide closures or interruptions for Yom Kippur, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Recess, Winter Recess, Lunar New Year, Midwinter Recess, Spring Recess, Eid al-Adha, and Memorial Day. Election Day is listed as a projected remote learning day because the 2026-2027 official calendar used that approach.
Because this is a projected calendar, these dates should be treated as planning dates until NYC Public Schools publishes the official 2027-2028 calendar. Use this page for early planning, and confirm high-stakes dates with NYCPS before booking travel, childcare, or time off work.
