Yonkers Calendar Notes

Expected opening: September 2. This follows Yonkers' recent early-September starts and the Thursday opening in 2026. The final school day is estimated as June 23.

Thanksgiving recess is expected November 25–26, with an early dismissal likely on Wednesday, November 24. Holiday recess is predicted December 24–31, with a January 3 return. Winter recess is expected February 21–25.

Spring recess: April 10–14. Yonkers used the week before Easter in both recent calendars. In 2028 this includes the first two days of Passover, with classes expected to resume April 17.

Diwali is expected to give students October 29–31 off. Pre-K families should also plan for possible early pickup at the start of school, following the short opening days in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plan for a possible half-day on the predicted September 2 opening. Yonkers used half-days for Pre-K on its first two days in 2026. The school will confirm the 2027 pickup times.
An early dismissal is likely on Wednesday, November 24. Yonkers scheduled a half-day for all students that Wednesday in both recent calendars. The full days off are expected to be November 25–26.
No additional break is expected. The predicted April 10–14 spring recess already covers the first two Passover days, April 11–12, which Yonkers scheduled as days off in its 2027 calendar. Classes are expected to return April 17.
Yes, Friday, October 29, creating a three-day weekend. Yonkers also gave students Diwali off in 2025, while teachers attended professional development.
Not necessarily. June 23 is the predicted district last day, but high-school attendance near the end of June depends on students' Regents exams. Use the high school's exam timetable to determine each student's last required day.
