2020-2021 NYC Public School Year Calendar

The 2020-2021 NYC school calendar is finally out for New York City public schools! We have been eagerly waiting from the DOE and are so excited to finally be able to get a full view of the new school year, especially since the first day of the 2020-2021 school year was pushed back has been pushed back twice now. We even made a fun printable of the 2020-2021 NYC school calendar that you can plaster to your fridge to keep track of important dates and holidays.

If you need ideas or things to do on those random days off, check out our posts on The Best Apple Picking Orchards, Where to See Movies Right Now in NYC, The Edge Sky Deck, and more to come during these COVID times.
