Any changes to the school calendars posted at http://schools.nyc.gov/calendar must be pre-approved. The review and approval process is needed to ensure that all State instructional time requirements (length of school day and year) and DOE contractual requirements (including school-based options and any staff issues) are being met, that parents have received sufficient advance notice, that certain overriding educational considerations are taken into account (e.g., meeting special education mandated services, avoiding conflicts with tests and other events, scheduling instructional make up time), and that all support service schedules, including busing, can be appropriately adjusted.

You should submit the “Calendar Change Request Form” to Suleyni Monero at least six weeks prior to the first date affected by a calendar change request. This will ensure that parents receive notification at least four weeks prior to the first affected day. Suleyni will notify you and the appropriate support services (busing, etc.) when your request is approved or denied.
