| | School Calendar News | No Comments

Today is Thursday, January 22, 2026. In the United States, there is no nationwide federal holiday today, and most public schools are in session.

However, because this week follows the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday (which was Monday, Jan 19), several major school districts use this time for semester transitions, teacher workdays, or exam periods.

Below are the specific details for major districts and regional variations for today:

1. Major School Districts In Session

The following large districts are operating on a normal schedule today:

New York City Public Schools: In session. High schools are currently in the middle of Regents Administration (standardized testing), which runs from Jan 20–23.
Los Angeles Unified (LAUSD): In session.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS): In session.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools: In session.
Houston ISD: In session.

2. Districts with Special Schedules or Meetings

Some districts have non-instructional events or specific semester-break activities today:

Orange County Schools (NC): Students are in class, but the district has a Student Achievement Committee meeting scheduled for 6:00 PM tonight.
Anne Arundel County (MD): Schools are in session, though the Board of Education is holding a closed session meeting at 5:00 PM today.
Green Bay Area Public Schools: In session. This follows their high school semester exams which concluded earlier this week.

3. General “End of Semester” Trends

Many U.S. school districts transition from the first to the second semester during the last two weeks of January. While schools are open today, you may see:

High School Testing: Many secondary schools are conducting final exams or midterms this week.
Grading Periods: Teachers in various districts (such as Prince George’s County) are finishing grading for the second quarter, leading into “Grading & Reporting” days next week.

4. Weather Impact (Current Alert)

There are reports of potential inclement weather (snow and wind) in parts of the Midwest, specifically West Michigan. Some schools in that region may have issued early dismissals or closures today due to morning snow accumulations.

For the most current information on school closings or delays in specific areas, it’s advisable to check local news outlets or official school district communications.
