The Port Washington Union Free School District 2025-2026 school year runs from September 3, 2025 to June 26, 2026. Port Washington serves approximately 5,000 students across 7 schools on Nassau County's North Shore, near Manhasset and Great Neck.
Port Washington stands out as one of the most culturally inclusive districts on Long Island, observing Diwali, Lunar New Year, and Eid al-Fitr — a distinction shared by very few districts in the state. The waterfront community of Port Washington is known for its vibrant downtown, Long Island Sound access, and strong tradition of community involvement in education.
The first day is Wednesday, September 3, 2025. Note: Port Washington starts one day later than many Nassau County districts.
Winter Recess runs from December 24, 2025 – January 2, 2026.
Spring Recess runs from April 2–10, 2026.
The last day is Friday, June 26, 2026. Graduation is the day before, June 25.
Yes. Port Washington observes Diwali on Tuesday, October 21, 2025 as a Superintendent's Conference Day (no school for students). This reflects the growing South Asian community.
Yes. Port Washington observes Eid al-Fitr on Friday, March 20, 2026. Port Washington is one of the few Long Island districts that observes Diwali, Lunar New Year, and Eid al-Fitr — all three major non-Western holidays.
Both are top North Shore Nassau districts. Port Washington (~5,000 students) is larger than Manhasset (~3,400) and more diverse. Manhasset is typically ranked slightly higher academically, but Port Washington offers broader cultural programming.
NY Regents: January 20–23, 2026 (midyear) and June 9–19, 2026 (end-of-year).
