How do you know if public schools in Queens are closed on a certain day?

There's no single website that lists closures for *all* public schools in Queens simultaneously. Queens is part of the New York City public school system (NYCDOE). To find out if schools in Queens are closed on a particular day, you need to check the official NYCDOE sources:

1. NYC Schools' Website: The official website of the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) is the best place to start. Look for a section on school closures, usually prominently featured on the homepage, especially during inclement weather or emergencies. The announcement will typically state whether *all* NYC schools are closed, or if there are specific closures.

2. NYCDOE Twitter: The NYCDOE often announces school closures via their official Twitter account. Search for their handle (you can find it easily via a search engine) and look for tweets about closings.

3. News Media: Local news channels (TV and radio) in New York City will usually announce school closures during their news broadcasts, particularly during severe weather events.

4. School's Individual Website: While less efficient for checking many schools, if you know the specific school in Queens you are interested in, check its individual website. Some schools may post separate announcements.

Important Note: School closures are usually announced the evening before, or very early in the morning, on the day of the closure. Don't rely on checking too far in advance unless there's a planned closure (like a holiday).
