Ready for spring?
March is here (again), and with this new month comes warmer weather, longer days, great celebrations of women’s history, and social media timelines filled with college basketball highlights.

So without further ado, here’s a look at what’s happening in NYC public schools this month, courtesy of our official 2020–2021 NYC Public Schools Calendar.
