NYC public school calendars show that December 15, 2025 is a regular school day with no scheduled citywide holiday or recess.
General NYC status
For the 2025–2026 NYC Public Schools calendar, winter recess does not begin until December 24, so December 15 falls on a normal instructional day. Citywide closure dates are limited to specific holidays and recess periods listed on the official NYC Public Schools calendar, and December 15 is not one of those dates.
What you should do next
Unexpected closures can still happen because of weather or emergencies, and those are announced same-day by the school system and local news. To be sure for your specific school, check your school’s website or messaging system, the official NYC Public Schools calendar page, local news school-closings pages, or call the school directly.
