STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — It’s time to stock up on any last-minute school supplies — the first day of classes is just around the corner.
The first full day of school for Staten Island public school students is Thursday, Sept. 7. For those counting down the days to summer already, the last day of school is Wednesday, June 26.
The city Department of Education (DOE) academic calendar includes some two dozen days off between the first day and the last day of classes.
The calendar gives time off for the religious holidays Good Friday, Yom Kippur and Eid al-Fitr, and week-long breaks for winter recess, mid-winter recess and spring recess, which include Christmas and Passover. The school calendar also allows time off for Italian Heritage Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Columbus Day), Election Day, Thanksgiving, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day and Juneteenth.
The city will also give students the day off on Election Day, which is Nov. 7, 2023.
On “snow days” or days when school buildings are closed due to an emergency, all students and families should plan on participating in remote learning, according to the DOE.
Dates for parent-teacher conference days for elementary, middle schools and high schools are also posted in the calendar.
The calendar is for all 3-K to 12th-grade DOE public schools. If your child attends a private, parochial, charter school, NYC Early Education Center (NYCEEC) or Family Childcare Program, please contact your child’s school for information about the calendar.
