Schools will still be closed Wednesday for Thanksgiving break and for Presidents' Day on Feb. 18.

Syosset, like many other districts on Long Island, applied for a waiver from Governor Andrew Cuomo's office that would decrease the amount of required days of instruction. The waivers have not yet been approved.
