🌸 Spring is bringing incredible momentum to Yonkers Public Schools!
From national and statewide conversations shaping the future of education to joyful celebrations of literacy and student success right here in our classrooms, our district continues to move forward with purpose and pride.
As we navigate the ongoing state budget delay, we remain committed to advocating for the resources our students need and deserve.

All Yonkers Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday, February 25, 2026.
The Board of Education Stated Meeting scheduled for that evening is also canceled.
Central Office will remain open.
Although emergency closing days are included in the district calendar, the District will be submitting a waiver request to the New York State Education Department due to the severity and widespread impact of the recent blizzard. We will share an update as soon as the state issues a determination. Until then, please continue to plan using the emergency closing days identified in our calendar.
We anticipate a full reopening on Thursday, February 26, 2026.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to ensure safe travel conditions and confirm that all district facilities are fully prepared to safely welcome students and staff.
