What's Up Wortman?
Stay-Up-To-Date
A school calendar is distributed monthly to families in both print and digital formats. You’ll receive a handout, updates through Class Dojo, and can also view the calendar posted here on our website.
Please check back regularly for updates on your child’s education at the school, District 19, Citywide, and Statewide levels. Your child's classroom teacher's will also have events.
Since our school schedule is subject to change, it’s very important that we have your current phone number and email on file.
We use multiple systems to communicate with families to ensure you never miss important information.
For a quick view of important dates in the upcoming school year, visit the New York City Department of Education’s 2025–26 School Year Calendar Page.
Printable versions of these calendars, available in multiple languages, can also be downloaded here and from the DOE’s official website.
