NYC Public Schools Start September 10

The first day of the 2026-27 school year for New York City Public Schools is Thursday, September 10. The date applies to NYC Public Schools from 3-K through grade 12, including schools serving families in Corona. Families should confirm their individual school's arrival procedures, transportation arrangements, meals, and classroom information because those details are provided by each school. The city calendar does not apply automatically to private, parochial, charter, or other independently operated schools, whose families should follow their own school's schedule.
