Families celebrating spring in NYC parks during the break.
As spring approaches, families in New York City are preparing for the 2024 spring break. Public school students will have their break from April 14 to 18, while Catholic school students will break from April 18 to 25. It’s important for parents to note the differences in schedules. After spring break, students can look forward to Memorial Day on May 26, and the school year wrap-up will vary for public and Catholic schools, with the last days being June 26 and June 13, respectively.
As we all know, spring is just around the corner, and families across New York City are already buzzing with excitement for this year’s spring break! However, if you’re a parent with kids in both public schools and Catholic schools, it’s essential to mark those calendars carefully because the break dates are a bit different!
For kids in NYC’s public schools, the spring break is slated from April 14 to April 18, 2024. That means that the last day of classes before the break kicks off will be Friday, April 11. It’s a well-deserved break after a busy school year! Public school students will officially return to their desks on Monday, April 21, giving them a nice total of nine days off when you include the weekends.
Now, if your child attends a Catholic elementary school, mark those dates because their spring break falls a little later. They will enjoy their time off from April 18 to April 25, 2024, starting off on Good Friday. The last day of school before this break for Catholic students is Thursday, April 17. When they return on Monday, April 28, they’ll have had a total of ten days off, including the weekends—what a treat!
After the spring break madness, students can gear up for the next school-wide break: Memorial Day on Monday, May 26. It’s a great time for families to plan a fun getaway or just enjoy a relaxing time at home! Plus, public school students will have some extra days off in June with two holidays: Eid al-Adha on June 5 and Juneteenth on June 19.
Looking ahead, the last day of school for public school kids in NYC is Thursday, June 26, 2024. Meanwhile, Catholic school students will wrap up their school year a little earlier, with their last day being Friday, June 13, 2024. So, if you’re planning any summer activities, make sure to take note of those dates!
It’s important to keep in mind that Catholic high schools and private schools may have different spring break schedules. So if you are juggling children in multiple educational systems, it’s best to check their specific calendars. You don’t want to miss out on any important school events or vacation opportunities!
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, be sure to check the respective Department of Education websites for both public and Catholic schools. They provide handy access to all important academic year dates for the 2024-2025 school year.
So there you have it, NYC! With spring break fast approaching, it’s a great time to plan family activities, celebrate the warmer weather, and enjoy some quality time together. Whether you’re building sandcastles, taking a road trip, or just enjoying the parks around the city, make the most of those precious days off!
