Spring Break 2024: NYC Schools Edition - The Ultimate Countdown
Is it Spring Break Yet?
This is the age-old question that echoes through the halls of every NYC public school from January to March. Kids are counting down the days like it’s a ticking time bomb (or a really, really long commercial break). Parents are planning vacations, day camps, and copious amounts of coffee. And teachers? Well, let's just say they're dreaming of uninterrupted sleep.
When Does the Madness End?
So, let’s cut to the chase. Spring Break 2024 for NYC public schools is from Monday, April 22nd to Tuesday, April 30th. There, we said it. You’re welcome.
Now, before you start planning your world domination or intergalactic space travel, remember, this is just for public schools. If your kid goes to a private school, you're on your own. We recommend checking their specific calendar or just asking the other parents in the carpool line.
Survival Tips for Parents
