STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 It\u2019s only been a few weeks since New York City students returned to class for the 2025-2026 school year, but some time off is on the way. <\/p>\n
All public school students in New York City will have two days off next week in observance of a holiday, according to the school calendar.<\/a><\/p>\n Schools will be closed on Tuesday, Sept. 23, and Wednesday, Sept. 24, for Rosh Hashanah, a two-day Jewish celebration of the New Year. And it translates to \u201chead of the year\u201d in Hebrew.<\/p>\n It is a religious and festive time when family and friends gather together for meals and worship and grow closer to God, while also looking forward to a new year with anticipation and reflecting on the past year.<\/p>\n This year, the observance begins at sundown on Monday, Sept. 22, and continues through nightfall on Wednesday, Sept. 24.<\/p>\n Students will return to classes on Thursday, Sept. 25.<\/p>\n And students won\u2019t need to wait long for their next day off \u2014 which will be the following week on Thursday, Oct. 2, in observance of Yom Kippur.<\/p>\n For those looking further ahead, students and staff will have another six days off before winter recess begins on Dec. 24.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
