NYC public schools are scheduled to be open tomorrow, Tuesday, December 16, 2025. There is no citywide holiday or scheduled break on that date, so classes are expected to be in session.
NYC school calendar
The official NYC Public Schools calendar shows Winter Recess running from Wednesday, December 24, 2025, through Friday, January 2, 2026, which means school days continue as normal before December 24. The 2025–2026 school year runs from early September 2025 through late June 2026, and December 16 falls within regular instruction days.
How to double-check
Because weather or other local issues can cause last‑minute changes, it is important to confirm the status for your specific school. Check one or more of these:
- The NYC Public Schools calendar page.
- NYC 311’s “School Calendar and Closures” information.
- Local TV or news school‑closing pages for your borough.
