NYC Public Schools Start September 10

Thursday, September 10, is the first day of the 2026-27 school year for New York City Public Schools, including programs serving students from 3-K through grade 12. Families should confirm their individual school's arrival procedures, transportation details, meals, and supply information before the first day. The city calendar applies to NYCPS schools; families whose children attend private, parochial, charter, or other non-NYCPS programs should check directly with those schools because their calendars may differ.
