There are many ways that people celebrate New Year’s Day. Some people attend parties or go out to eat at restaurants. Others may watch fireworks displays or participate in parades. Some people also like to spend the day relaxing at home or going on a trip. No matter how people choose to spend the day, it is a time for them to celebrate the start of a new year and to spend time with loved ones.
For many, it means a day off of work, but what does the New Year’s Day holiday mean for students in school?
Having no school on New Year’s Day allows students to have a break from their normal routines and enjoy the holiday before returning to class. However, with the holiday falling on a Sunday this year, will that mean schools will be open on Jan. 2 or are schools closed on Monday in observance of the holiday?
Are schools closed on January 2, 2023?
On New Year’s Day, many schools will be closed in celebration of the holiday. This means that students get a day off from their usual academic responsibilities and can instead focus on celebrating the start of the new year. As New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, the holiday is being recognized on Jan. 2 instead which is why many schools will be closed on Monday.
Now, it is important to note that there are some schools that might remain open on Jan. 2, so it doesn’t hurt to check your school district’s website just to be sure.
