The schedule of upcoming ARISS contacts is posted regularly on this list and in AMSAT News Service weekly bulletins. It is also available at https://www.ariss.org/upcoming-contacts.html The occasional SSTV events are generally also announced in these sources.
Beyond scheduled contacts, casual operations by astronauts are at their discretion and subject to their off hours. There is no published schedule for these.
When not being used for voice contacts, the ISS station is frequently in APRS packet digipeater mode. More information on that is at https://www.ariss.org/contact-the-iss.html#Packet
During dockings, EVAs, and other special operations aboard the ISS the amateur station is turned off. Such occasions may occur at any time and are often not announced in advance. -- Mark D.

Right now, packet/APRS is operating and available on 145.825 MHz (subject to the whims of old and temperamental equipment). The new radio system is on-board, but installation is not yet on NASA’s schedule.
With most schools closed and students locked down around the world, all near-term educational contacts have been postponed or cancelled by the schools involved. When contacts resume, they will be announced as usual: on this list, various ham radio news outlets, and www.ariss.org http://www.ariss.org/.
