MVSD is a suburban school district with 16 schools. The first day of school is September 3. Mount Vernon City School District's Denzel Washington School of the Arts is named after the Academy Award-winning actor, who grew up in Mount Vernon, NY. Calendar dates are confirmed for part of the year; the rest of the 2026-2027 calendar isn't available yet — check back soon. The calendar also notes several religious observances (Rosh Hashanah (Schools closed), Rosh Hashanah (District closed), Yom Kippur, Lunar New Year (District closed), Eid-al-Fitr (District closed)) for awareness — school stays in session on these days. This calendar includes 1 professional development day, 4 early-release or half days — useful to know when planning childcare. Standardized testing windows: NYS Regents Testing Period (January 20–January 23); NYS Regents Testing Period (June 9–June 10); NYS Regents Testing Period (June 17–June 25).
