Families in New York City prepare for a fun spring break.
As spring approaches, families in New York City are gearing up for a unique spring break. Public and Catholic school students will have their breaks at different times, with public school students off from April 14 to April 18, 2024, and Catholic school students from April 18 to April 25, 2024. This scheduling offers families chances for travel and celebrating Easter, signaling a much-needed rest before the academic year wraps up.
As the warmer days of spring are just around the corner, families in New York City are busy preparing for a much-needed break from school. However, this year, there’s a little twist! Public school students and those in Catholic schools will have their spring breaks at different times, making planning a bit more interesting for parents and kids alike.
For families with kids in the NYC Department of Education, the spring break is set from April 14 to April 18, 2024. This means that the last day of public school classes before their break will be Friday, April 11. Sounds like a lovely time to pack your bags and enjoy a mini vacation! After the break, the students will return to school on Monday, April 21, so that gives them a total of nine days off, which includes the weekends. Plenty of time for fun adventures or a cozy staycation with the family!
On the other hand, students attending Catholic elementary schools will have their spring break a bit later, from April 18 to April 25, 2024. Their last day of classes before the break is on Thursday, April 17. What’s exciting for these kiddos is that their break includes Good Friday and Easter Monday! This means they’ll have a full ten days off, including the weekends, with classes resuming on Monday, April 28. That’s a perfect chance for springtime egg hunts and family gatherings over the Easter holiday.
These scheduled spring breaks mark the last significant holidays for students in NYC for the current school year. With all the hustle and bustle of school, it’s a lovely way for students and their families to recharge their batteries before finishing up the school year. After spring break, the next holiday across NYC students’ calendars is Memorial Day on Monday, May 26 — a great day for barbecues and family outings! Plus, public school kids will also get time off in June for the observance of Eid al-Adha on June 5 and Juneteenth on June 19.
As we look ahead, it’s important to keep in mind the last days of school for both public and Catholic students. Public school students will wrap up the school year on Thursday, June 26, while their friends in Catholic schools will finish earlier on Friday, June 13. It’s amazing how time flies — before we know it, summer vacation will begin!
So, whether you’re packing for a trip or planning activities at home, make sure to mark the calendars for these spring break dates! With a little extra planning, both public and Catholic school families can have a wonderful break together this spring, finally giving everyone a chance to unwind as the school year nears its end.
