Six Day Letter Day Schedule VIDEO
This year, all Yonkers schools will follow a six-day letter day schedule that ensures alignment with New York State Part 100 regulations and our district’s core-instructional program.
School is still in session five days a week, but classes will rotate on a cycle labeled A through F.
The purpose of this schedule is to give every student the best chance to succeed. It ensures that:
Students receive equal instructional time in all subjects across the district.
Core instructional subjects are protected, while enrichment such as art, music, and physical education are built into every child’s schedule on a rotating basis.
No class is lost repeatedly due to holidays or weather closings, since the cycle simply moves forward to the next day.
Teachers and parents can plan more consistently, which helps create stronger learning experiences for students.
