NYC Schools Close For Yom Kippur

NYC Public Schools will be closed Monday, September 21, for Yom Kippur. The citywide closure applies to NYCPS schools serving families in Howard Beach, including programs from 3-K through grade 12. Private, parochial, charter, and other non-NYCPS schools may follow different calendars, so families should confirm directly with their school. Parents and caregivers should plan for no regular NYCPS classes and check with individual schools about any separate programs, transportation arrangements, or childcare options connected to the holiday.
