Back to School Year 2025–26

On Thursday, September 4, 2025, we will welcome students back to New York City public schools for the first day of the 2025–26 school year. Over the next year, our City's children will learn and grow together, academically and socially. This is an important journey, and we want to make sure students and families have the tools they'll need for a strong start and continued success this school year.

On the link below , you will find important information and updates about our academic policies, health and safety protocols, support services for students and families, and more.
