This month, New York City public schools across the five boroughs are celebrating Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month by reflecting upon the contributions of generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans throughout U.S. history. Join in on the celebration with our list of suggested events, digital resources, and books for students and New Yorkers of all ages!
Join us all week long as we honor teachers across the five boroughs for their extraordinary service on behalf of City students! Use our official DOE All Stars web tool to send a note of appreciation to the teachers who have made a difference in your life, and consider nominating them for a 2022 Big Apple Award!
As we enter the last full month of the 2021–22 school year, see what's happening in NYC public schools in May 2022! Highlights include Eid al-Fitr, Teacher Appreciation Week, and Memorial Day.
