New York City Department of Education School Year 2021-22 Calendar Memorandum
The New York City Department of Education (DOE) school year calendar must be adhered to without exception,
unless notifications of subsequent changes are received pursuant to collective bargaining agreements or for other
reasons, provided these other reasons are not inconsistent with collective bargaining or legal obligations. Under no
circumstances may schools deviate from this calendar without Central approval. This memorandum establishes that
school sessions for all students shall begin on September 13, 2021 and end on June 27, 2022 and incorporates the
following understandings:
1. This calendar does not preclude subsequent changes made pursuant to collective bargaining agreements or
for other reasons. In no case can this calendar or subsequent changes result in a loss of State aid.
2. Consistent with Commissioner's Regulation 175.5 and New York State Education Law EDN?3604, schools
may not deviate from the DOE school year calendar without prior Central authorization. All changes in this
calendar must be submitted for Central review and approval at least 6 weeks prior to the earliest impacted
date. With approval, schools must notify parents of any calendar change at least 4 weeks prior to the earliest
impacted date.
3. The Chancellor shall use the power vested in them by law when, in violation of this citywide school year
calendar, a school is closed or shortened sessions are scheduled without prior authorization.
4. This school year calendar is compliant with New York State Education Law EDN?3604 requiring a minimum
session of 180 days.
5. The DOE plans to shift all students and teachers to remote instruction in lieu of cancelling school when severe
weather conditions make in-person services impracticable or unsafe; New York State Education Department
(NYSED) established a pilot policy effective for school year 2020-21 allowing this practice. NYSED would
need to extend the pilot or permanently adopt the policy for DOE to continue this practice in school year
2021-22.
o In the event NYSED does not extend the pilot policy and there is a need to make up session days in
order to meet the statutory minimum number, the DOE and UFT shall jointly determine those
vacation days during designated recess periods which shall be used and the order in which such days
would be used. The number of recess days used shall not exceed the number needed to meet the
statutory minimum.
6. On September 9, 2021 the following staff shall report: Classroom Teachers, Bilingual Teachers in School
and Community Relations, Guidance Counselors, Attendance Teachers, Nurses, Therapists, Laboratory
Specialists and Technicians, and Educational Paraprofessionals. School Secretaries, Psychologists and Social
Workers report for a regular work day. Employees in titles not listed should consult the applicable collective
bargaining agreement. This day shall be a Chancellor's Conference Day for staff development as described
in this memorandum.
7. Students shall not be in attendance on Chancellor's Conference Days for staff development related to the
implementation of high learning standards and assessments. Staff development activities must meet needs
that are mandated, or of high priority, including collaborative professional learning opportunities for staff
related to rigorous instruction, a supportive environment, and effective leadership; implementation of the
new high learning standards and assessments, as adopted by the Board of Regents; school violence prevention
and intervention; the implementation of the Continuum for Students with Disabilities; performance standards;
science education; assessments, etc., as they relate to general, special and bilingual education. There must be
an appropriate focus on the implementation of high learning standards and assessments, in accordance with
Commissioner's Regulation 175.5 and New York State Education Law EDN?3604. All schools shall hold
Chancellor's Conference Days for staff development on the following dates:
o September 9, 2021
o September 10, 2021
o June 9, 2022 (Anniversary Day)
o June 28, 2022 (Day following last day of school for students)
1
8. November 2, 2021, Election Day, shall be a remote, asynchronous instructional day for all students and a
professional development day for teachers. The decision to provide remote, asynchronous instruction on
Election Day is subject to change pending additional guidance from NYSED.
9. For all 9-12 and 6-12 schools in Districts 1-32, Monday, January 31, 2022 will be scheduled for staff
development; no students in these schools will be in attendance on this day. January 31, 2022 is a regular
attendance day for students in K-5, K-6, 6-8, K-12 and D75 schools and programs.
10. Consistent with Commissioner's Regulation 175.5, calculations of aidable instructional time incorporate the
Chancellor's Conference Days and Regents Examination Days. In accordance with CR175.5, conferences
for staff development activities that are related to implementation of the new high learning standards and
assessments, general staff orientation, curriculum development, in service education, or parent-teacher
conferences shall be credited toward the annual instructional hour and 180-day session requirements. This
time shall not include routine administrative matters such as grading of assignments, the preparation of pupil
assignments, recordkeeping, or the preparation of lesson plans.
11. The school calendar takes into account the following citywide shortened sessions for students:
o Two afternoon Parent-Teacher Conference days (one in the fall term and one in the spring term, for
all schools) where students receive a minimum of two and a half hours of instruction.
12. June 7, 2022 shall be a non-attendance day for students in K-5, K-6, 6-8, K-12 and D75 schools and
programs to allow staff time to complete the various tasks related to the annual reorganization of schools.
Principals should plan end of term clerical administrative assignments in a manner that ensures that maximum
productive use is made of this time. The Office of Pupil Transportation will notify bus companies of the non-
attendance day; schools do not need to notify the Office of Pupil Transportation of this event. June 7, 2022
is a regular attendance day for students in 6-12 and 9-12 schools in Districts 1-32.
13. The last day of the school shall be a regular day of instruction, shortened sessions are not permitted. Schools
must adhere to the following guidelines:
o All students are required to attend school
o Daily attendance must be taken, recorded and reported
o Students are to receive instruction
14. As a result of Chancellor's Conference Days for staff development, the total number of student attendance
days is less than the number of session days.
