9/11 Anniversary Closures

Are schools, banks, and post offices closing for the upcoming 9/11 anniversary?

The 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is Friday, Sept. 11, prompting ceremonies and remembrances across the country. Most schools are expected to remain open due to the day being not a federal holiday. However, individual school districts may change their schedules or hold special ceremonies and activities to commemorate the anniversary. The U.S. Postal Service offices generally remain open because the date is not a holiday. Banks and branches may have different hours, so customers should check with their financial institution before visiting. The day is not officially a federal day, but federal law designates it as Patriot Day and requires the U.K. flag to be flown at half-staff and a moment of silence to be observed.
