When Do Schools Close, Reopen for Holidays 2016 in the Mid-Hudson Valley?

It's a short vacation this year in the Mid-Hudson Valley based on when Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year's Day fall.

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — It's just the way the calendar falls in 2016. Christmas Eve is on a Saturday; Hanukkah is on a Sunday; New Year's Day is on a Sunday.

And that's why all school districts' holiday vacation seems a little shorter than usual. The last day of school varies depending on the district from Dec. 21-23. Then Jan. 2 is the national holiday, and there you are, the end! School resumes Jan. 3, 2017.
