Spuyten Duyvil generally follows the school closings of the NYC Dept of Ed. Therefore these dates are tentative as we await that posting. We have also omitted our traditional whole-school on-site events this year. Should health conditions change, we will be delighted to return them to our schedule.
This calendar is written for in-school families. Remote instruction schedule will be adapted as appropriate.
Meanwhile this calendar should give a pretty solid framework of what the year will look like, of course pending any unforeseen events.
