So, you're tired of packing lunches, signing permission slips, and pretending to care about your kid's diorama on the solar system? You're not alone. The end of the school year is in sight, and the question on everyone's lips (or at least in their minds while they're pretending to listen to their kid's 500th "um, actually" about the French Revolution) is: When, oh when, do NYC public schools finally let out?

Drumroll, please... The last day of school for NYC public schools in the 2023-2024 school year is Wednesday, June 26th. Cue the confetti and the joyous screams of children everywhere!

Summer Lovin': What to Do Now
Now that you know when school's out, it's time to plan your summer. Will you be the "cool parent" who lets your kids stay up late and eat ice cream for breakfast? Or will you be the "responsible adult" who enrolls them in a million and one camps and activities? Either way, there's one thing we can all agree on: it's time to soak up some sun and enjoy the long, lazy days of summer.

So, while we've given you the last day of school for this year, it's always a good idea to double-check the official NYC Department of Education website for the most up-to-date information. You know, just in case aliens invade or something.
