The snow day is no more in New York City public schools.

Next year, students will have to report to class remotely if the school buildings are closed due to inclement weather, according to the Department of Education’s 2021-22 school calendar released Tuesday.

The updated calendar also replaces Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and declares Juneteenth, the oldest known commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States, a holiday for students. Mayor de Blasio pledged to make Juneteenth an official New York City holiday last June shortly after Governor Cuomo declared Juneteenth a state holiday amid protests calling for police reform after the death of George Floyd.

It sucks for the kids, snow days were always a favorite for me when I was younger.
