NYC Public Schools Close For Yom Kippur

New York City Public Schools will be closed Monday, September 21, for Yom Kippur. The closure applies to NYCPS schools serving students in Whitestone and across the city. Families should arrange child care and adjust transportation plans for the day; the posted calendar does not list classes at school buildings on this date. The 2026-27 calendar covers NYCPS schools from 3-K through grade 12 and does not automatically govern private, parochial, charter, or other non-NYCPS programs, so those families should check with their school.
