Danvers Snowstorm: Schools, Town Offices Closed
Forecasts of up to eight inches of snow mean a three-day weekend for Peabody students.
DANVERS, MA — Danvers Public Schools will be closed on Friday for the first snowstorm of 2022.
The district said Thursday it was canceling school with up to 4 to 8 inches of snow expected in Eastern Mass.
Because the state is not counting any remote learning days toward the required 180-day in-person learning requirement this year, the district will have an old-fashioned snow day.
