The Syracuse City School District 2025-2026 school year runs from September 4, 2025 to June 25, 2026. Syracuse is the largest school district in Central New York, serving approximately 20,000 students across more than 30 schools in Onondaga County.
Known as one of the snowiest cities in the United States, Syracuse's school calendar is heavily influenced by intense winter weather. The district builds extra emergency closure days (often called "snow emergencies") into the calendar — a major planning factor for families. As a hub for refugee resettlement with students from over 70 language backgrounds, the calendar increasingly accommodates diverse cultural holidays.
