Yom Kippur closes public schools

New York City Public Schools will be closed on Monday, September 21, for Yom Kippur. The closure applies to College Point Collaborative and other NYC public schools serving local families. The date appears on the official 2026-27 school calendar, which also lists the September 10 start of the school year and later parent-teacher conference dates. Families should plan for no regular classes or school-day services on September 21 and check directly with any independent, charter, or private school because those calendars may differ.
